Have you ever loved and resented someone at the same time and is it healthy?
In Episode 3 of Season 3, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Yasmine Cheyenne, a self healing expert, teacher and speaker, to discuss how to set boundaries rather than having uncommunicated expectations, how to navigate past trauma that has transformed itself into present resentment and knowing the difference of what is and what isn't meant to be yours.
Some of us struggle with the act of setting and enforcing boundaries in our lives in order to have healthier relationships with those whom we love. Some of us have only experienced independence later on in life and unfortunately it came with no guidance. So how does one truly set boundaries if we have struggled with finally having agency over our choices and even our own voices?
I stumbled upon Yasmine's insightful posts a few years ago and I couldn't help but feel a sense of validation and with it came a huge sigh of relief. Finally, someone understands what I have experienced and to see it being put into words was truly gratifying to say at the very least.
In this episode, I open up to Yasmine about the struggles I have with setting boundaries for myself which at times can come with anxiety and guilt, because for the longest I didn't have a clear understanding of what boundaries truly are. It's always been a struggle of mine to express my needs to my loved ones without feeling like I am pushing them out or punishing them, yet this is the complete opposite of what the purpose of a boundary truly is.
We also discussed how 'healing is an educational endeavor with no graduation', why we resort to anger and how we can better communicate our boundaries, what to do with the feeling of resentment towards those whom we love the most and how to find our purpose.
I truly hope you walk away from this episode with a better understanding of how to advocate for yourself while also understanding you are worthy of being loved and respected.
