Engrid’s Letting Go Of:
Putting pressure on myself of where I need to be (geographically, career-wise) Needing a feeling of “knowing” or magical ah-ha moment for something to be the right choice for me Being uncomfortable by another’s discomfort (codependency)  Not speaking up for what I need/want The judgment I place on myself for needing/asking for help  Buying cheaper versions of things  Fear I’ve associated with having a vision for my future  
Georgie’s Letting Go Of:
Needing to prove myself on social media The vegetarian/pescatarian label My pattern of avoiding (out of fear of judgement/feeling dumb) Hiding from the truth Impulse shopping/needing to keep up with trends Talking about others (negatively) to form quick (cheap) connection Needing to be “chill”

PURPOSE OF THIS EPISODE: 
To shed light on navigating the world with insecurities. In this episode a gal pal listener reached out to us and shared that they were bullied for acne in school. They are trying to overcome this harmful belief that they can’t date or have meaningful relationships until their skin is clear.
______
TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
How Georgie overcame limiting beliefs on feeling unworthy in relationships because of her back acne Learning that the love for our skin (and our bodies) doesn't have to be conditional  How Georgie replaced being worried about reactions or being rejected (because of body acne), with  being open to the possibility of acceptance You’re not tarnished, damaged, or unlovable because of [insert insecurity here] Focus on befriending & partnering with your skin - think about being on the same team as your skin How do you hold yourself in high regard on bad skin days? How do you build respect for yourself and be vulnerable in the dating world with acne? Surrender - what would happen if you never had clear skin? Would you be ok?  
 
_____
ON INSECURITIES:
Where does insecurity come from? Attachment style: Dr. Daniel Siegel, author of Parenting from the Inside Out, says the key to healthy attachment is in the four S’s, feeling safe, seen, soothed and secure. Insecurities can develop when we are not seen for who we truly are Insecurity can manifest in either over confidence /overcompensating  OR self depreciation  Drama Of The Gifted Child by Alice Miller  Where did we learn there was something “wrong” with this part of our body? What messages do we consume/hear/experience that reinforce this? In what spaces do we feel free? _____

This episode was Inspired by a Gal Pal listener, who suggested we unpack resentment. In this episode the gals hope to shed light and reduce the shame around this complicated emotion that everyone experiences.
 
IN THIS EPISODE:
Definition of resentment -  a feeling of indignant displeasure or persistent ill will at something regarded as a wrong, insult, or injury The light and shadow sides of resentment It can be an indicator light that we might need to speak up for what we need and expect or confront a situation where we feel like we need an apology or resolution How do we move through it? Are we allowed to have expectations? How do we communicate our needs/expectations On forgiveness: “resentment is like taking poison and expecting the other person to get sick”  Expectations are future resentments Is it reasonable to try to not have ANY expectations?  Being okay with feeling uncomfortable/ disappointed when your expectations aren’t met  
Examples:
Keeping score in a relationship Feeling bitter about a sacrifice you had to make for someone and continuing to bring it up Feeling resentful that you have to be a caregiver for extended periods of time Resentment for parents who weren’t able to care for you in the way you wanted/needed as a child Feeling taken advantage of in a work environment
