‘Prepping’ for hurt and loss cuts us off from intimacy and connection

by NATALIE | Jun 21, 2021 | Happiness & Self-Esteem

Several years back, I got into a deep conversation with a man who avoided closeness with his young son because of his belief (and fear) that either of them could die at any time. He loved his son so much and thought being a guarded, emotionally unavailable father...

Cautious Carol and why I practice patience and humour with my inner critic

by NATALIE | Jun 16, 2021 | Happiness & Self-Esteem

When good things happen, especially when I’ve hoped and wanted them for a while, the Cautious Carol part of me kicks in. Driven by avoiding potential problems and dangers by whatever means possible, she presents me with worst-case scenarios and prods me with...

There’s no need to be ‘baggage-free’ to move forward or have what we want

by NATALIE | May 4, 2021 | Patterns & Habits

So many of us hold ourselves back from changing career, going after what we want or showing up to intimate relationships. For instance, I see people try to achieve the perfect amount of healing before dating again or at all. Others try to get a gazillion degrees or...

What does it mean to have ‘healthy work boundaries’?

by NATALIE | Apr 7, 2021 | Boundaries

Healthy work boundaries are about how we use and protect our bandwidth–time, energy, effort and emotions–to work and live so that we can have emotional, mental, physical, spiritual and even financial wellbeing. When we know and understand who we are (our...

Podcast Ep. 216: The Truth About Breakups

by NATALIE | Mar 12, 2021 | Podcast: The Baggage Reclaim Sessions

So many people treat breakups like personal statements of their worth or their ability to love and be loved. As a result, the stories we tell ourselves about why a breakup happened and what it means about us can profoundly affect our self-esteem and subsequent...

Jaysus, I’m officially forty-five! It feels like such a big age. 🤣👏🏾Much as I’ve enjoyed my forties so far and feel more me than I’ve ever been, it’s also been a mixed bag of emotions due to internalised messaging about ageing and so this sense that I’m ‘past it’. Like it’s only downhill from here when it really isn’t. Noticing these feelings and thoughts has been and still is an invitation to get grounded and connect to my truth, to notice the bias and bullshit. And do you know what? I’m grand. I’m learning to let things be and saying no to pressuring myself to be and do ‘more’. That includes remembering that much as I might still feel like a teen in my head, that I don’t need to try to pressure myself to have the body, the energy levels or ambitions of my twenties and thirties! Cheers to forty-five and whatever it has in store for me.

No matter how old I get, I’ll always be a 90’s raver at heart, so initially I wasn’t feeling Beyoncé’s new tune that much. And yet here I am a few days later raving it UP 🤣🤣

Until you know what you’re closed to, so what doesn’t work for you, what’s not in alignment with your values, boundaries, needs, desires and expectations, you can’t know and enjoy what you’re open to. You’re not a free-for-all. Express your boundaries by expressing more of who you really are. #baggagereclaim #healthyboundaries #boundariesarebeautiful #recoveringpeoplepleaser #peoplepleaser #selfcare #healthyrelationships #codependentnomore

View

Trying to live up to everyone’s expectations is like trying to cup the ocean in your hands. And yet so many of us do this to ourselves and then wonder why we feel so lost, anxious, low and resentful. Making ourselves jump through hoops for other people’s shoulds takes a toll on our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being as well as the health and of our intimate relationships. When we allow ourselves to create healthy boundaries, to be more honest versions of ourselves, we accept that disappointing others by not always being able to meet their shoulds is a natural and healthy part of life. #baggagereclaim #healthyboundaries #selfcaretips #listentoyourself #recoveringpeoplepleaser #peoplepleaser #recoveringperfectionist
