Summary
If only someone had told us these things sooner... It's already that time of year again. In today's birthday episode of Hot & Unbothered, spend another B(ri)-day with your host, Brianna Gomez, as we sit down for an intentional best-friend chat while the sun sets on my final day of being twenty-three. From codependency and people-pleasing to grief, faith, healing, relationships, confidence, slowing down, and learning how to become comfortable in your own skin, I'm sharing the twenty-three lessons that changed me most this year and the hard truths I wish I'd learned sooner. So grab a blanket, light a candle, pull out your journal, and let's talk. 💌 In this episode, we discuss: Why the easiest choice isn't always the right one. People-pleasing, honesty, and speaking your truth. Codependency, boundaries, and healthy relationships. Learning to take up space unapologetically. Healing the parts of yourself you've tried to ignore. Why a busy life isn't necessarily a beautiful life. Grief, loss, and making the most of your life. Accepting help and building a community around you. Learning to see people through the lens of grace. LET'S TWIN WITH OUR PEARL NECKLACES!!!
