Stop Apologizing for Feeling—How to Heal After Betrayal & Walk Away from Toxic People | Najwa Zebian (Fan Fav)
This is a fan fav episode. If you’re a human, you’ve most likely been in relationships and situations that spark regret, shame and confusion on what to do and who to be in the moment. So often, people spend time trying to please everyone around them. The way you dress, the way you style your hair, where you sit in the meeting, all of these decisions are so easily influenced by a want and desire to be given approval from the right people. But what about you? What do you want?
How often are you spending time apologizing for feeling, and even better how often are you downplaying that you even feel anything? Najwa Zebian is an activist, poet and celebrated author. She joins Lisa for a second time to discuss how she came to radical self acceptance, and share the startling fact that we may actually be gaslighting ourselves when we diminish and disregard the pain we feel when vulnerability has been betrayed in the hands of the wrong person.
Najwa’s Questions for Self-Acceptance:
1. Who are you?
2. Why do I believe what I believe?
3. Why do I live my life the way that I do?
4. Why am I scared of X, Y and Z?
5. Why are you so afraid of feeling pain?
“When you build your home and other people you give them the power to make as homeless” -Najwa Zebian
