Welcome back to the Embrace Family Recovery Podcast.
Today, I share a powerful writing by Amanda Weston titled 'I'm Done Explaining Myself,' which emphasizes the futility of trying to change others' perceptions. Amanda writes about the importance of focusing on what is within one's control, such as thoughts, actions, and responses, rather than trying to control others.
Margaret highlights the need to let go of what is beyond our control and to avoid over-sharing and problem-solving, which can rob others of the opportunity to grow. She stresses the importance of maintaining peace and serenity by keeping one's side of the street clean and avoiding codependency.
