The RelationSHIFT with Ketsia GustaveThe Art of Connection Part 2: Creating Safety WithinToo often, we seek a level of validation from other people that we don't bother to give ourselves. In reality, the way you treat yourself sets the example for the people around you. If you only pour into others, you teach them that you don't need to be poured into. In today's episode I want to show you how to break the pattern of self-neglect for good, and set expectations for the people in your life on how you want to be loved.
