Releasing the Pressure and Being Ok Where You’re At
Manage episode 426164219 series 2560872
Episode 271: This week’s solo episode is all about transformation. Nat’s been thinking a lot about that lately as she looks back on how much she’s changed over the course of her twenties and what she wants for the future. For one, she’s no longer a ‘relationship girl’, and that feels good! In fact, it’s allowed her to focus on her career and set more time aside for her personal growth, which she is super proud of. She knows that the right person is out there for her, so for now she’s not rushing it, but she also sometimes can’t help but feel those societal pressures to get married and start a family. She’s been feeling both confident and insecure about her future at the same time, a tough position for anyone to find themselves in. But thankfully, her faith has been a huge source of comfort for her, and she’s come to the realization that letting go of what you can’t control may actually be the best way to brush off the anxieties she’s been feeling lately about work, life, and relationships. It’s sage advice for anyone who’s been feeling weighed down lately and needs a perspective shift as Nat approaches it with a combination of self-love and personal reflection—two things we can probably all agree we need more of!
