Because at the end of the day, the right people fight for you. The right people show up. The right people care, not only when life is convenient, but when it's difficult and messy.
Não facilite a vida de ninguém se, para isso, você precisar dificultar a sua. Essa foi uma das maiores lições que aprendi. Muitas vezes me prejudiquei para ajudar pessoas que, quando me viram em uma situação difícil, simplesmente viraram as costas. Ajudar é um gesto bonito, mas nunca às custas da própria paz, da própria dignidade ou do próprio bem-estar. Quem realmente se importa com você não espera que você se sacrifique para provar o seu valor.
Sou uma pessoa muito tranquila, mas sou rígida quando se trata dos meus princípios. Não posso te dizer o que fazer, mas posso te dizer o que você não vai fazer comigo.
Emotional blackmail is a tactic often used to manipulate and control others by exploiting their emotions, vulnerabilities, and desire for approval.
It works by playing on the victim’s fear, obligation, and guilt (sometimes referred to as FOG).
Narcissists often employ this tactic to achieve their own ends while making the victim feel trapped, uncertain, and powerless.

Playing Brazil has always been a heated battle, but this was on another level. A wild game. Disappointing to see the lack of emotional control from Brazil, and it started with the coach. The whole pinnie incident with him set the tone. Teams don’t win major championships with that type of behavior. The USWNT showed composure, class, and emotional control throughout, and that started with Emma. She led by example. Credit to the USWNT for weathering a chaotic battle and finding a way through it.
Being a generational curse breaker typically also means never truly being able to find one tribe or group in society who you instinctively and completely fit in with. Because you are known to exist outside of cliches, outside of societal archetypes and ‘traditional’ templates, it’s difficult for you to know where to place yourself.
You may fit into several different groups partially, and for separate reasons, but may find that trying to restrict yourself to one leaves you feeling depleted, misunderstood and just like something’s missing…
It wouldn’t be #PRIDE Month without chatting with two of my favorite L-ladies! 😉
I am interviewing my girls Malin Akerman & Brittany Snow again in-person for “The Hunting Wives” tomorrow!
Got a burning question for #TheHuntingWives Margo & Sophie themselves? Let me know!
