    What to Expect from Valentine

    Dealing with the pressure from others—whether it’s from parents during childhood or from friends and family in adulthood—can be incredibly challenging. However, with the right mindset and strategies, it's possible to navigate these pressures in a healthy and balanced way. Here are some tips to help you accept and deal with this pressure: Childhood Pressure: Often, pressure from parents stems from their hopes, expectations, or the way they envision your future. This could manifest in academic or career expectations, relationship choices, or even personality traits they wish to see in you. Adulthood Pressure: As an adult, pressure from friends and family can be more varied—whether it’s from societal expectations (like career success, marriage, or having children) or more personal demands (like being "the strong one" in the family, or always being available for others). Action: Take some time to reflect on the specific expectations being placed on you. Are they your own goals, or are they largely shaped by others? Sometimes just recognizing where the pressure comes from can help you detach from it.

Through candid discussion, we reflect on the lasting effects of these childhood experiences and how they contribute to the self-doubt, perfectionism, and people-pleasing behaviors many adults struggle with today. Whether you’re recognizing these patterns in your own life or simply seeking understanding, this episode provides insight, validation, and practical steps for healing.

    Are You Connected

    Most often when people discuss connections, it more so about being attached to something. A lot of the time its definitely more of a physical connection. Life has spiraled in sooooo many different ways for me that I had to truly evaluate what being connected truly means to me. Webster defines connected as- joined or linked together, related by blood or marriage, having parts or elements logically linked together, or incapable of being separated into two or more subsets.
