Creating Resilience: Episode 7, Part 1
Part 1 of a very heavy, but necessary chapter is now live on Creating Resilience: The Downfall of Recycle Woman. 🎬🌪️
During the filming of Recycle Woman, the dynamic between myself and my mentor/business partner began to shift into a very challenging and toxic space. He was becoming a bully, and at that time in my life, I didn't yet have a strong sense of boundaries. I shied away from conflict, choosing to keep the peace even when things became deeply uncomfortable. 😔💔
Looking back with clarity, I realize I was navigating that space from a place of deep vulnerability. Both of my parents were already deceased, and I was so desperate to have 'someone looking out for me' in the way I imagined a mother or father would as I pursued my path as an artist. I placed those hopes onto him, hoping he would fill that void.
But the universe had a different lesson for me. 🕊️✨
Through the pain of that dynamic, I had to learn the hard way never to give my power away. I had to learn how to stand up, look conflict in the eye, and establish fierce, healthy boundaries. Working with him was a painful, yet necessary catalyst in learning how to protect myself, my mission, and my absolute autonomy as a creator and a leader.
This is the behind-the-scenes truth of what it takes to step up to the next level. We have to learn to become our own protectors. 👑📈
Watch Part 1 now. Thank you for walking through the shadows and into the light with me. ❤️🙏🏽❤️
