About this episode
In this episode, Davina Rankin discusses the importance of setting boundaries in dating and friendships, and the power of giving oneself permission to change and grow.
In this episode, I’m sharing some of the most powerful permission slips I’ve learned as an embodiment coach. So many people stay stuck in situations that drain them because they feel guilty leaving, speaking up, or changing. But growth often requires us to make decisions that other people might not understand. We talk about: • Why your social media should be a space that supports your wellbeing • The truth about “cringe” and why you should still post the content • How to recognise when friendships are no longer aligned • Boundaries in dating and noticing what someone brings out in you • The difference between relationships that activate your inner child vs your caretaker • Why you are allowed to leave jobs, relationships, or environments that no longer feel right • The power of reinventing yourself at any moment This episode is your reminder that you don’t need approval to live a life that feels authentic. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is give yourself permission. https://www.theupgradebydavina.com/
