Unmothered + Unbothered Podcast77: Standoffish or Barely Standing?It’s been over a year since my last episode. I have truly been struggling. In silence. Life has been all over the place and I had no choice but to retreat and get my mind right. While some think that I have been acting funny, being distant, or standoffish, in reality I was barely making it. In this episode, I explain what has been happening with me and what I have learned from it. It’s been a minute but I’m back, baby!

I absolutely loved the relationship that Kanye West had with his mother! She was his #1 fan and loudest cheerleader. It was beautiful to watch. I never expected to get online and see people compare Donda to their own mothers and blame their mothers for their failures. Stating they didn’t accomplish their goals because they didn’t have a mother like Donda. They didn’t go to college because their mom was toxic and they blame her. I was extremely disgusted! These were adult women! You don’t have muc...

As a result, Sabrina had to grow up before her time and experienced some things that she will never forget. Although her mother has a giving heart, Sabrina often shuffled between her home and her grandmother's home because her mother did not provide a stable place for her to live.

This is assuming that we even know what our triggers are because most of us mistake our strong emotional reactions for passion and that is not always the case. We also run from our triggers because they scare us but we learn so much from those triggers.

Lately, I have been reminded more and more of how important it is to be authentic to who I really am. Not because I want to be phony, but because I am constantly being told that I am too much. This is especially the case in professional settings because I am so passionate about what I do. Being told to relax or to hear coworkers say that I do "too much" is commonplace for me and I work...

I use a personal story as an example to show what it looks like in real-time. I personally am not a fan of passive-aggressive people because I am more confrontational in nature.

Why do we equate certain feelings to being soft, hostile, and inadequate? The answer is simple: we were never taught how to process our feelings. We were taught that suppressing our feelings somehow gives us the upper hand. It does not. What we are feeling will come out one way or another and we will be forced to deal with them.

Why do we not feel that we should change those things? Saying "that's just the way I am" is just another way of saying "oh well" to the hurt, pain, frustration, and embarrassment that we may cause other people. That attitude is very dismissive and selfish. There is a way to be yourself but do it in a way that reflects positivity. That take it or leave it attitude may get you left!

She lives through the daughter and depends on her for physical and emotional support in most cases. The mother does not want the daughter to have any independence and will guilt her if she has her own mind.

This core wound has kept me from making genuine connections with some people and has caused me to reject others before they reject me. A few common core wounds are abandonment, betrayal, abuse, and rejection. Core wounds vary so make sure y...
