SEASON 2, EP12 - Let's talk about your table — the sacred space where your energy, time, and heart are shared. In this episode, we're exploring what it really means to choose your people with intention. The ones who see you, hold you, and remind you who you are when the world feels loud. The ones who pour into you, not just take from you. We'll chat about the difference between connection and obligation, why outgrowing certain circles is part of your healing, and how to lovingly create space for the kind of relationships that nourish your nervous system — not drain it. If you've ever found yourself wondering "Is it okay to say 'no, thank you' to certain relationships to allow space for new life guests?" — this conversation is a gentle nudge toward honoring your truth. So pull up a chair, take a breath, and let's talk tribe, boundaries, and the beauty of belonging to yourself first. In This Episode, We Cover: The Power of Belonging: Explore why humans crave connection and the benefits of being part of a supportive group. Be Selective With Your Circle: Learn the importance of choosing your "dining table" guests wisely, focusing on shared values and mutual respect. Setting Healthy Boundaries: Discover how to navigate relationships with people who may not be the best fit for your inner circle, even family.
