If you read last week’s House Talk article, you know I’ve spent a lifetime hiding my codependency behind words like compassionate, supportive, and helpful.
Same! Hoping this can give you another tool to support you in setting and maintaining boundaries. You may also want to check out my article from last week. It's a good one for boundaries.
What a helpful and insightful post. At the very beginning you helped me see a situation where I defaulted to an old codependent pattern with my sisters. So thank you for that. Now I can have better language and awareness for how to raise the conversation up in a healthier way.
And then all of these house insights are just fabulous. As a nomad, I’m now staying in other people‘s homes over the next few months during my book tour. And I love how I’m making the bedroom that I’m staying in very much mine with a stack of my books on the dresser and a laminated print out poster of my cover on the wall and a couple more of my books on the bedside table. I’m immersing myself in my own biggest creation and joy right now. And it really helps. Ground me. Center me. Inspire me. Thank you for the gift of this post today! I really needed it.
This is so me! I’ve had to do so much boundary work over the years, but this is a great reminder.
