This is your friendly reminder that you should always be working toward using people's correct pronouns! It's a simple way to show people that you acknowledge them. I know for myself that finding the language that best described how I felt was its own journey, and it is still very invalidating when I get misgendered to this day.
ㅤ
If you aren't sure of someone's pronouns, ASK THEM! 🙌

I had way too much fun traveling Europe via river cruise to only talk about it once! 😉

If you've been keeping up with the year I had...then you know a break was very, very, very necessary.

I have been to Europe a few times before, and it's always amazing. As a foodie, I of course had to document all the fantastic dishes, and this trip was extra special with Christmas markets full of sweet treats! (They were amazing!)

There's nothing like enjoying good food and good sights with good company. 😋

Are you more of a German bratwurst or Belgian waffle person?

Do you find yourself comparing yourself to your metamours? Comparison and jealousy are normal emotions, but they can also steal your joy.

So if you're feeling full of emotions you would rather not have, take some time to reflect.

Are you investing in your friendships, hobbies, self-care, or career? Or are you relying on your relationship to be the source of all your validation?

You deserve relationships that make you feel good, but when it's the only thing that makes you feel good, it puts a lot of pressure on that relationship. And that's not fair to you OR your partner.

Find things outside of your relationship that fill your cup. The more you enrich yourself, the more well-resourced you'll be, and the easier it will be to confront feelings of jealousy or insecurity. 💜

Have you ever noticed that we tend to separate feelings and emotions into "good" or "bad" labels?

Happiness? Good! 😃
Anger or jealousy? Bad! 😡

But feelings aren't good or bad. They just are! And all of us are going to feel all of the emotions at some time.

Instead of placing judgment on your emotions, make them your friend. Lean into your challenging emotions and ask yourself what information it's giving you.

From my experience, jealousy tends to pop up because there's something we're missing. Maybe it's time, or maybe you and your partner need more (or less) communication.

For more guidance on accepting and listening to what difficult emotions like jealousy are telling you, watch my latest video below!💜

I'm so excited to announce that the first episode of Do As We Say is live!

Extra! Extra! 📢 The first episode of Do As We Say, Not As They Did Podcast is live, and it’s a doozy! Join your hosts, Dr. Liz Powell and Dr. NerdLove, as we dig into one journalist’s surreal experience on a weekend getaway with three AI chatbots and the people who love them.

Together, they unpack:
✨ Why AI relationships feel so real
✨ Why having a partner that won’t (or can’t) say no isn’t a good thing
✨ Why it’s okay to be awkward while building human relationships! (Like, come on, who doesn’t love someone adorkable!?)

You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and then you’ll probably wonder how we got here as a society. 😬
