Today’s topic is Finding Your Peace. This is not about me telling you how to find it but rather me simply sharing some of my own experiences in MY search for Peace.

Whether they know it or not, there are so many people these days who are searching for Peace. That place of quiet Contentment where INSIDE it feels calm, regardless of what’s going on around you. In this day and age of busyness, it’s difficult to slow your pace and I get that. The demands of family or your work life can make it difficult to find the QUIET which allows you to sit with your thoughts.

Hey Everyone, welcome to the Dontbeacrumqueen podcast.

I have a question for you. In the context of relationships, have you ever thought about whether you’re chasing or whether you’re attracting?

Well, I have. I’ve thought about it a lot and to be honest, there definitely have been times in my life when I was chasing. It’s when I found myself wanting, more than anything, to be in a relationship. The problem was, being in that mindset (which is scarcity) kept me slightly blinded to (or should I say choosing to ignore), potential red flags.

Hey Everyone, welcome to the Dontbeacrumqueen podcast.

Today I want to talk about relationships. They certainly aren’t easy and ending them can prove to be very difficult especially when it comes to romantic ones.

We get so deeply entangled and yet, we usually “know” when it’s not the right one for us. Against our own intuition, we focus on the “potential” and spend months or even years hoping for change but alas, that day never comes and we are left pondering “should I end this?”

Hey Everyone, welcome to the Dontbeacrumqueen podcast.

Have you ever thought about the ways in which you seek validation? Are you even aware that it’s something you do?

As humans, we’re all designed to desire validation. At our core, we want to know that we are worthy, that we have value and that we are good. While those things are very natural, WHERE we are looking for validation determines whether it is healthy or unhealthy.

Hey Everyone, welcome to the Dontbeacrumqueen podcast.

Today I wanted to talk about something that applies to not only those of us who are single but also to those of us who are in relationships, whether it be engaged, married or a romantic long-term commitment.

Hey Everyone, welcome to the Dontbeacrumqueen podcast.

So I’ve been thinking lately about this whole “single and wanting to meet someone” position many of us find ourselves in.

Those thoughts inspired some questions.

Why do we want to meet someone? Why is it so important? Is it pressure from society? Are we just lonely? Do we want financial stability from a partner? What is the real reason behind the want?

Hey Everyone, welcome to the Dontbeacrumqueen podcast.

Have you ever met someone and felt like you knew they weren’t the “right” person for you but you were drawn to them anyhow because it felt good? Deep inside you sensed it wasn’t healthy or it wasn’t going to end well but you couldn’t pull yourself away. Maybe you’ve met that person that felt “wrong” because they weren’t your type or the dynamics in the relationship were SO different than what you were used to?

Hey Everyone, welcome to the Dontbeacrumqueen podcast.

So as I’ve been reflecting back on my own Life experiences, one thing I’ve become aware of are the times when I allowed myself to “dim my Light” so the person I was with could feel better about themselves. This can happen in families, friendships, business or even romantic relationships.

What does it mean to “dim your Light?”
