Description

Entry #38. When I was younger, I struggled with getting swept away and losing parts of myself in my relationships. Multiple times, I fell into codependent habits, which proved detrimental to my mental health and the health of the relationships overall. It also wasn't fair on the past partners - nobody can be *everything* to somebody else. This is something I've spent years working on in therapy and out, and I am now in a place where I feel strong in my sense of self - which is obviously something that helps my marriage thrive.
In today's episode, I am sharing my personal journey towards healthy independence in a relationship, why I think it's important, and also my struggle points.

See you next Monday x

When my brain starts spiraling at a million miles per minute, I find it helpful to zoom out and remind myself that I am still at the beginning of my story. Prologues is a place to get comfortable with not having everything figured out, but still trusting in the beauty to come. Whether we’re talking about mental health, relationships, wellness, or just the chaos of being in your 20s, I hope these next moments are your reminder to take life as it comes.
