Sanding Off Your Edges 🐶

From The Greenhouse · 00:12:08

Show by Maintaining Melinda / Melinda Brillinger Founder Of The Bloom

Welcome back to The Greenhouse Podcast. In this episode, host Melinda Brillinger brings us home to her two girls, Lola the golden doodle and Layla the pittie 🐶🐶, and a very ordinary moment with a treat that turned out to be anything but.Have you ever said yes before the question was even finished? Have you ever sanded off your rough edges just to fit in?After a vet visit reminded them both could stand to lose a few pounds, Melinda gave each dog the exact same treat. Lola's was gone in seconds. Layla set hers down gently beside her, then picked it back up later and ate it anyway. Not because she wanted it, but because she knew if she didn't, Lola would. Melinda unpacks where we do that very thing in our own lives: the extra committee, the lunch we didn't want to go to, the opinion we swallowed to keep the peace. For years her mantra was choosing her battles, and she's learning some of that was really fear of the hard conversation. This episode is a warm, gentle reminder that the people who belong in your garden can handle your edges 🌸.🌿 Your Tiny Seed Action for Today: Notice one treat you're taking this week that you don't even want.
