Everyday I make a conscious effort to remind myself that being human involves experiencing every emotion, including stress, grief, sadness, happiness, joy, love, and more. We cannot avoid these feelings, much like a thriving tree that continues to grow no matter the challenges in the terrain. We are meant to feel and experience life's ups and downs, and grow. To expect a life without challenges is the same as expecting that we can live without water. Part of being human is needing to hydrate. Part of being human is to experience it all.

The parentified daughter is raised to think of everyone before herself. At a young age she becomes the mediator between fighting parents, the sibling that gets other siblings ready, the therapist to her mother, or the confidant to her father. It’s a role reversal that leaves her own emotional needs completely neglected.

Over time she becomes more and more focused on keeping the family together and making sure everyone is ok. This is the role of her parents— but their own generational trauma has left them emotionally immature. As children in adult bodies, they over-rely on her. They see her as a peer. And they’re unaware of how this will impact her throughout life.

Her nervous system sees this caretaking role as a threat (a role she’s not developmentally ready for) and puts her into a hypervigilant state.

As a teenager, she’s supposed to be exploring, learning who she is, and focusing on building her future— but she’s flooded with anxiety.

By her 20’s she’s a people pleaser. Terrified to say no. She feels like she’s done something wrong for “no reason.”— a telltale sign she’s been parentified. When she thinks about doing something (anything) for herself she instantly thinks of what other people will think of it. And the thought of disappointing people is so crippling, she’ll do anything she can to avoid it.

After graduating college, the physical effects are setting of her life experience are setting in. Her symptoms are messages from her body saying: enough. She’s diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Every day she feels exhausted from the autonomic nervous system and her elevated immune system response.

Her body remembers.

Staying positive isn’t about suppressing negative emotions or always being cheerful. It’s about allowing yourself to experience every feeling authentically and without guilt. Embracing the full spectrum of your emotions, understanding that you are multifaceted, and loving every part of yourself is key. The aim is not to achieve a constant state of happiness, but rather to cultivate deep self-acceptance and compassion for all aspects of your being.🌿

These are 5 of the most common regrets people have said at the end of their life:

🐚 I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

🏗️ I wish I hadn't worked so hard.

🎭 I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

🫂 I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

🌅 I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Life is a gift :). Follow your heart and live your dream. That is a wonderful way to show gratitude for life :)

Love, Jodi
