689. The Importance of Taking Up Space: Break Free From Narcissism + Know Your Worth

What does it mean to take up space? In this vulnerable solo episode, Krista explains the emotional, physical, and psychic significance of creating boundaries and making sure your needs are met. She explains how this practice raises self worth and allows us to magnetize magic into our lives.
Ahead, Krista unpacks some of her childhood experiences and challenges with perfectionism, as well as the struggles of dealing with emotionally unavailable parents. She explains how these traumas have impacted her ability to assert herself in adult life and what she’s done to shift it.
Get a glimpse into Krista’s journey of healing through mother wound retreats and resources that aim to foster self-worth and reciprocal relationships. This one is for all the empaths, superwomen, and perfectionists out there - you deserve to be loud, authentic, and take up space in this world!

I can relate SO much about taking up space to the T that you mentioned. Been working through it and this helped me to both see my progress but also how I can continue to improve. Thank you! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing! ❤
