What happens when you stop trying to control everything and start setting boundaries for yourself? Join us on the Broken Tiles Podcast as we explore the nuanced journey of personal growth and therapy, seasoned with our signature humor and introspection. Discover the delicate dance between guiding and letting go, especially from a parental perspective, while pondering the motivations behind our need to control outcomes. Engage with us in a discussion that blends heartfelt insight and playful banter, encouraging reflection on compassion, self-preservation, and the art of establishing boundaries. Relationships are complex, and the intricacies of codependency add another layer to this complexity. We dive into the implications of codependency with children, friends, and partners, shedding light on the draining nature of emotional vampires and how to manage our time with them. With a nod to the whimsical, we venture into the world of music genres and how they humorously reflect our personalities. From "alt-indie twang" to the soulful vibes of 80s music, we share a light-hearted exchange that captures the essence of our personal characteristics through music. Mistakes can be unexpected gifts wrapped in life's challenges. We share personal and business stories where unforeseen events led to profound insights. From the delightful surprise of an "oops baby" to lessons learned from a breach of trust, we reveal how such experiences can reshape our understanding of what's truly important. Our conversation meanders through recurring dreams and the balance between freedom and order, ultimately tying together themes of anxiety, creativity, and self-discovery. Join us for an episode that promises both thought-provoking discussions and moments of levity.
