In this episode, we talk about not taking everything that happens in our lives so personally. There will be some things that cross our paths that we have to understand and won't necessarily be to our liking, yet it still has to happen. Friendships that end abruptly, relationships that just didn't work, mental breaks that someone close to you needs to take but may not know how to articulate, aren't for us to take personally. Sometimes it's our responsibility to understand that people are battling with things we have no idea about. Tune in as we talk about being okay with not having a happy ending or getting an explanation we feel we need - it may be the very door that needs to be closed in order to receive an abundance of blessings on the other side.

KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS:

QUOTABLES:

"People will be uncomfortable sometimes when we start moving in a way that they don't necessarily understand. And I'm here to tell you all, that's not your problem. And that's none of your business what people think or what they say about you."

"If you feel like you need to take a break sis, take it. And when you take it, you do it with no explanation."

"There should be nobody out here that you're looking for to complete you. You need to be complete within yourself first."
