In this episode, I talk about my very recent experience of being gossipped about in a very real and harmful way without getting into the details...because that's the point! Toxicity breeds and amplifies more toxic patterns and behaviour. Let's breakdown a bit about what gossip has been, how it's been used, and how it does damage and maybe, just maybe, move forward in a way where detached compassion and empathy for the wounded ego that profits off of gossip. At the end of the day the person hurting the most in a gossip situation is the one chin wagging about everyone else to avoid processing their own baggage. I get it, I've been there. I would love to connect with you and hear more about your story. Find out how to work with me by visiting https://www.cherylfolland.ca/links

An open chat between myself and expert Kendra Lockhart of Know Yourself Well (find her on IG and Facebook) around understanding our Ego, what it is in metaphysical terms and how to frame it with word pictures so our conscious self aka the thinking feeling doing being self can work with this important and often annoying WANT machine. Please note this episode was recorded live on Facebook and has some technical audio issues we are aware of. Unfortunately to edit them out would ruin the integrity of the call. Thanks so much!

"I don't have an issue with being disabled. I've found ways around things. I found what works for me, what doesn't a lot of times? It's the reactions of other people. There are the ones that have the issue, and sometimes the questions I understand people are curious, but it's just sometimes it's the rest of the world that has has that issue with that. We're on. Like I'm, I'm fine with that." https://michellesmission.blog/

Before we had this conversation and before we have this conversation today, I want you, everyone listening to know that I am a rules person. Everything about my entire upbringing has been checklists and right or wrong and to be a good person. Do the right thing, do the right thing, do the right thing and oh my God. Kendra, is about to share something with us that first of all, made me real f****** mad. And we unpacked that together with grace and then it completely shifted everything. You can find Kendra online on Instagram or join her Facebook Group to continue exploring this topic or any other that you have on your mind. Thank you so much for being part of the community of understanding we're cultivating; there's room for you at our table.
