  • @Print229 says:

    AMEN! It’s very difficult, however, as a mother to diversify when the thing that monopolizes your time and resources is your kids…. because if you DO diversify and your kids struggle -OMG, society and Mom Guilt will eat you alive.

    • @juliegolick says:

      I think even with kids it’s possible to diversify, though. Like diversifying your focus to their grades, friends, hobbies, family relationships, volunteering, etc. So you don’t become hyper-focused on any one aspect of your kids’ lives.

    • @belugaflying says:

      Having kids is the ultimate diversify. A lot of childless women have this scarcity energy towards moms

    • @AThirstyPhilosopher says:

      I’ve seen too many parents not diversify and they do t know who they are once their kids individuate. Or worse, they don’t let their kids individuate.

    Excellent advice ❤

  • @blarghblargh says:

    Having obsessed over many things for decades, and doubling down in the pandemic, this is spot on. Get off discord, kids. Or any other place full of bitter, obsessive, lonely people. It isn’t a community if you don’t see each other in person.

  • @kimberlyf6312 says:

    If you’ve sacrificed too much for your significant other, you will become more bitter when everything about your relationship isn’t perfect!

  • @BlackninjahLover says:

    You always have such good advice.

  • @abbyporter242 says:

    Preach! This is true in dating too. Anyone whose only known for one thing becomes extremely threatened if that one thing diminishes in any way

  • @B1EbonyinLDN says:

    I’ve never heard of this concept before but this makes so much sense 🤔

    I sent this to myself so i can play it on repeat

  • @AThirstyPhilosopher says:

    If you have the means and the access, get into therapy to help with this. Start working on internal validation (as opposed to external validation) and emotional regulation before perimenopause, when anxiety, mood disorders, and executive dysfunction get turned up to 11.

    Tangetially related, in my experience when you look at older married couples when one spouse passes away, the surviving spouses that tend to do the best after the passing are the ones who have lives and interests outside of their homes.

  • @MedusaSkirtSounds says:

    Reminds of the Indigo Girls song that goes: “And the less I seek my source for some definitive, closer I am to fine.”

    Gunna save this to watch once a month or so for the rest of my life

  • @TheMntnG says:

    I‘m bitter and resentful because there are rich people and they dont share with others while also destroying the planet. no happiness on this earth.

  • @cronchyskull says:

    What an out of the blue and yet very sage and universal bit of advice!

  • @matthewc9806 says:

    One common solution to this is to sublimate competitiveness as a personality trait with other outlets like sports or video games. I disagree that everyone has this trait. I think it is somewhat operating under a projection to assume so, ie, “I am hyper competitive when I focus on one thing, therefore, everyone else must be too.”

  • @kiwanaki says:

    I say this all the time! For most of us, no one thing is “the thing”.

    Beautiful!

    I’m an author and this describes the book industry to a tee
