Some of the hardest lessons I’ve learned came wrapped in heartbreak, rejection, and confusion. I didn’t ask for them, but they shaped my boundaries, my voice, and my self-worth. In this episode of Taking Up Space with Jordan, I’m sharing the four big lessons I had to learn the hard way, so maybe you don’t have to.We’ll talk about:- The difference between forgiveness and moving on (and why they’re not the same thing)- Why people pleasing keeps you small- How hyper-independence isn’t the flex we think it is- The quiet grief of outgrowing people- And the most important truth: you were never too hard to love they just weren’t equippedIf you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink to be loved, or wondered why certain relationships couldn’t last, this episode is your reminder that your worth was never defined by someone else’s inability to see it.✨ Chapters:2:16 | Forgiveness vs Moving On 5:02 | Pleasing People Keeps You Small 6:29 | Ways to Say "No"7:00 | Consequences of Saying "No" 8:25 | Hyper-independence Is Not a Flex10:47 | Inner Child 11:18 | Some Love Is Not Meant to Last Forever14:40 | We Are Not Too Hard To Love16:02 | Unequipped People are Afraid 17:21 | What Real Love Feels Like 18:15 | Culmination of Life Lessons 18:44 | Empowerment Through Hard Lessons 20:30 | Journal Prompt 💌 Let’s Connect:📸 Instagram: @takingupspacewithjordan💬 Join the conversation: https://discord.gg/B543F4awIf this episode spoke to you, share it with a friend who might need the same reminder.
