Babbling About The Mirror We Avoid: Owning Our Part, Growing From It, and Loving Ourselves Anyway

#183: Accountability can feel like a loaded word—especially when it comes to our relationships. All too often, we either shoulder all the blame or refuse to see our part in painful patterns. But what if accountability could be an act of self-love rather than self-punishment?

In this deeply reflective episode, I explore the liberating side of taking responsibility for our relationship patterns. I share my personal journey of recognizing how I've abandoned myself to keep others comfortable, confused emotional chaos with passion, and chased unavailable people because of unhealed wounds. The most powerful insight? When someone triggers us, they're often holding up a mirror to something we haven't fully addressed within ourselves.

This isn't about blaming yourself for others' harmful behaviors. No one deserves abuse or mistreatment. Rather, it's about honestly examining what you've allowed, what you've ignored, and how you might be trying to heal old wounds through your current relationships. Through this compassionate self-reflection, we gain the power to make different choices moving forward.

Whether you're struggling with repeated relationship disappointments, trying to break free from toxic patterns, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, this episode offers a gentle but transformative perspective on how accountability can set you free. Remember, you're allowed to be both a work in progress and worthy of love right now. Your journey of becoming is just that—a journey, not a destination you've somehow failed to reach.
