A Grandmother's Advice Part 4: Ego and Emotion
My grandmother joins Red Light Talks for another amazing conversation about how our ego can harm our relationships and attract us to toxic people. We discuss how emotions are a good thing and a bad thing at times, how some people are overly emotional and others are anti-emotional, and how emotions can be used as a subconscious manipulation tactic to try to hang on to people we know are about to harm our ego and are not good for us in the long run. From childhood trauma affecting our development, being raised by parents who never show emotions, hidden anger, and trusting your gut when you feel a relationship is moving too fast, this episode is relatable and relevant! Enjoy the wise and wonderful Jo share her advice yet again!
