Today's episode of Connecting it Together with Stefanie is about looking within ourselves before pointing the finger on how they should be doing something. There isn't a right or wrong way. It can be so easy to look at others and say you wouldn't be doing what they're doing, but how do you know that until you are put in that situation. Even then, is it truly possible to understand someone's actions until you are able to 100% live in their experiences? I don't believe any of us can truly say yes to this question.

The theme of there isn't a right or wrong way came out in all of the past three episodes. Let's recap the episodes:  

1. Seeking perfection caused anxiety and self-tyranny. Steve, Episode 26 Was there a right way for Steve to experience these moments?
2. Layers and layers of healing through sexual trauma. Celeste, Episode 27 It's easy to look at Celeste now and think she has it all together, but the healing took years and years of peeling the layers. 
3. Find what works for you being a mother with Sara, Episode 28 Is there a right way to be a mother? Is it wrong to take needed time for yourself?

I invite you to take time for self reflection. What comes up for you when I say "There isn't a right and wrong way?" Work through the layers of this statement and the beliefs that you have around it. Reflect on your own journey in life. What paths did you go down that others thought were wrong, and yet, you learned so much from? What paths did you go down that you thought were "so right," only to find out that it wasn't what you thought. Yet, there were lessons you learned.

You can find the video I referenced in the podcast HERE. "I quickly realized that it could have been me....I don't understand how anyone can do that. It took me one week to realize, I could have done that." I invite you to listen to his whole conversation.
