She's gonna thank you SO much and say thank you for GROWING through this tough time, thank you for learning what you learned. This is serving you & others.” Quotes: “We have been sold the idea that there is this balance, that’s actually attainable. And so many of us feel unfulfilled because we feel like we’re failing, because we are striving for something that doesn’t even exist.” “What boundaries do I first need to put in place to protect myself and my energy so I don’t repeat this cycle again?” “You don’t have to be available just because someone else wants you to be.” “The people who do the if/only game, they not only suck the life out of themselves, but they don’t see as much success in their business or in their life, and they don’t feel fulfilled because they’re coming from a place of lack & they’re playing the comparison game.” Resources: Get yourself a Mini Trampoline Enneagram Personality Test If we aren't connected yet be sure to come hang with me on Instagram @kaciafitzgerald and @empowerHERpodcast or online at www.kaciafitzgerald.com
