In this episode, Sarah and I explore the liberating power of taking responsibility for ourselves.   Sarah shares her experience of how taking responsibility for herself has transformed her life and allowed her to feel free, content, and sufficient. We discuss the concept of people pleasing and both recognize that people pleasing is a form of manipulation.  We talk about the fear that many people may feel when they hear the idea of taking responsibility for themselves, but Sarah emphasizes how it is worth it, even though it may be challenging.   Sarah also shares how realizing that she can't control what other people think of her was a turning point for her, allowing her to be content with herself and let others have their own experiences of her.   Join us as we dive into this inspiring conversation on how taking responsibility for yourself can lead to greater freedom, contentment, and self-love.     What you'll learn in this episode: How Sarah started taking emotional responsibility for her life What happened when Sarah realized that she was in charge of how she wanted to feel Why other people don't create our emotions Some of the challenges she had with her mother How she uses the energy of emotions to move her forward in life Some of the beautiful things she loves about her mother   Links mentioned in this episode: Sarah Plowman: https://www.instagram.com/sarahplowmancoaching/ My Website: https://www.rachelkhudson.com/ Work with me here: https://www.rachelkhudson.com/work-with-me Grab your FREE 3-Step Guide to Creating Peace With Your Mother: https://www.rachelkhudson.com/opt-in-817728d6-c4b4-465e-bd45-d759adf59b52 Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelkhudson/      

Welcome to Relationship Coaching with Rachel, where we provide insights and tips to help you find peace in your most challenging relationships. Today, I have a special guest on the podcast, Megan Weisheipl, who will be discussing her new book, The Selfish Hour.  As a relationship coach and teacher of meditation and yoga, I understand the importance of creating sacred time for myself. The Selfish Hour is a must-read for anybody seeking personal growth and transformation. Megan wrote this book from a place of being healed and provides practical tips on how to transform your mind in just one hour a day. Megan shares her story of creating a life from a situation she didn't want. She talks about feeling like the parent in the relationship, and how she mirrored her story from her own mother's story.

Making a sincere apology can have a profound impact on your level of self-worth. What I realized over the last several weeks is that I realized that the way I was taught about making an apology was that it was either "owed" like a bad debt or it came with a lot of strings attached.   What you'll learn in this episode:    When we apologize from a place of fear, it has a different energy to it. It feels heavy and haunting. There's an air of manipulation to it.  When we apologize from a place of love, it feels genuine.  A sincere apology can give anyone a sense of freedom when we come from the right place.  I'm delighted to say that learning to sincerely and timely apologize is one of the biggest gifts I've ever given to myself.   Mentioned in the show:  Ditch the Drama Coaching - Free Consultation Mama Drama Boundaries Guide: https://www.rachelkhudson.com/Mama-Drama-Boundaries-Guide When you make the commitment to managing your emotional life, there's nothing you can't create for yourself.   I'd love to connect with you more Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | Coaching with Rachel
