Our Rights in Relationships

I’m posting this as a reminder to us all that it’s okay to pause and reflect on what we need in relationships, and also as a way to normalize the journey of finding our voice. Growing up especially in a family where your thoughts or needs weren’t always acknowledged can make asking for things like respect, time, or understanding to feel scary. For some, those requests might seem like second nature, but for others, it’s a quiet act of courage. If you relate, be kind to yourself while you are practicing that quite courage, sometimes we all need reminders and I hope that this post serves as one.
