I Can Handle It, But Do I Have To?

From RiseUp - Live Joy Your Way · 6:21

Show by Kamini Wood

In this episode of RiseUp – Live Joy Your Way, Kamini Wood talks about the compliment that lands differently depending on the day: “You’re so strong. I don’t know how you do it all.”Some days you say thank you. Other days you want to say, “Neither do I, but if you figure it out, let me know.” You’re the one who remembers every appointment, handles the unexpected, and knows where the batteries are. Being capable is a real strength, but somewhere along the way “I can handle it” can quietly turn into “I have to handle it.”Kamini explores the difference between being able to carry something and believing you have to carry everything, why the capacity to love and the energy to express it aren’t the same thing, and how “I’m safer when I don’t need anybody” can protect you while also keeping out the connection you actually want.
