I've been on a similar journey! thank you so much for sharing how you're learning to trust yourself. Here's to two immigrant girlies finding healing :)
A beautifully crafted and thoughtful letter to yourself and to all of us for whom control is a bid for safety. I particularly resonated with this: “Over the years, my penchant for control has closely mirrored the turmoil I faced (avoided) internally.”
Wow, so much overlap with the topics I’ve been thinking about in the past year! Self-trust, surrender, letting go of control, de-optimizing, and how it all relates to being raised in an immigrant upbringing. Thanks for writing and sharing so openly, Cissy!
This was an awesome read, so much of it resonated with me! I've had moments too where I felt myself letting go of the millions of trackers in my life. As recently as this week, I was talking to my sister about how natural it feels for me to go with the flow yet I created such a deep narrative that I need to change to align with "being productive" that somewhere along the way I lost any trust that the way that is natural to me is the right way for me. It does all work out. Thank you for sharing!
💯 I resonate a lot with the notion of brute forcing flow. I had seasons of my life that I was optimizing every margin of my life, but nothing felt easeful — all of these systems ended up suppressing me into fragile ways of operating rather than building resiliency into my life
glad to hear you’re strengthening your self-trust too :)
I resonate so deeply with this! As an immigrant myself, I observe the threads of the mistrust of the universe and yet I work on it every day to allow the world to work out for me

ahh, "a bid for safety" – here's to cultivating more and more safety within ourselves through deep and meaningful friendships :)
Here with you through all of it!

it's all just a process of unlearning, isn't it? 🙂↕️

one decision, one reference point at a time — we’ll slowly get there :)
A thoughtful read, yes I do my podcasts on 2x. Time to change that habit and get trust the flow.
it was amazing how joyful listening to audio became as I slowly transitioned away from what was beginning to sound like a disorientated chipmunk 😆
