You Are Allowed To Change Over Time | #129
The idea that we're supposed to stay the same for our whole lives is honestly ridiculous. People get upset that we change, but we're SUPPOSED to change. We're supposed to learn, to make mistakes, amends, and compromises. We're supposed to know better and do better. We are supposed to leave the world better off than we found it. How could we do that by staying the same all our days?
In this episode of the Neurodivergent Creative Podcast, I'm opening up about my own experiences with change, from navigating the depths of depression to rediscovering my true passions and purpose. We don't have to follow a predetermined script – we're allowed to forge our own paths, make mistakes, and start over whenever we need to.
You Will Learn:The importance of advocating for your mental health and trying different medications if necessary.The benefits of maintaining consistent self-care routines, such as journaling and spiritual practices, and how these can impact your well-being.Why it’s never too late to start over and pursue new passions or paths, regardless of age or past experiences.Understanding and navigating the dangers of self-judgment and the importance of reconnecting with your values and purpose.
Key Points, Quotable Sass, & All That Jazz
Time to bring the fireworks with some seriously sassy key points and memorable quotes from episode 129:
💬 "Even what you really deeply want is allowed to change over time, because you are allowed to change over time."
💬 “And so many societal expectations stop us from deciding that we can do something different, and that we can go off the script handed to us."
💬 “There is not just one opportunity to try and then stick the landing. You can do new things or old things or whatever thing you want. Basically whenever you want to! And believing that it’s available to you is the first step.”
💬 “If I can be that patient with plants. Can I be that patient? Can I be that patient with myself?“
💬 “You can start over at any time. You can replant yourself. You can do it. Okay? I love you. And there's nothing you can do about it!”Download the episode transcript here!
