| Intent vs Impact: Owning Our Growth | 23 Oct 2024 | 00:41:37 | |
In this episode, we explore how good intentions don’t absolve us from the impact we have on others. Even with the best intentions, we can still hurt people, and it's important to take accountability—not for doing something wrong, but for the effect of our actions. We share personal stories, especially about relationships, and how this lesson has shaped our interactions. The conversation then shifts to personal growth, self-awareness, and the need for grace. We open up about struggles with abandonment from losing family early on, and how it influences our relationships. We highlight that self-awareness is more important than being "fully healed" and discuss self-love practices, like mirror rituals. We emphasize that growth is a journey, and it’s okay to struggle as long as we stay mindful and work through our patterns. We wrap up by encouraging listeners to find lessons in every experience and stay patient as they become the person they aspire to be. Follow Chance: https://www.instagram.com/act_strive/ | |||
