Welcome to part two of Get in Where You Fit In. This episode emphasizes the importance of enjoying who you are and what you’re doing to be your authentic self. Andre and Anitra evaluate examples of unique people who refuse to conform to the norm, but have the confidence to embrace their individuality. This episode analyzes the need to be appreciated in our partnerships and relationships and how that appreciation can lead to positive self-awareness and personal identity. Dre unpacks how the position of the older sibling has inherent expectations that limit choice and can create frustration and Anitra speaks from the perspective of the younger sibling and the difference between “have to” versus “get to.”
If you wonder why you didn’t feel like you belonged to your family, you will relate to this episode. If you wondered how your family felt overwhelmed with family expectations, take a listen. The Savage Siblings reflect on the difference between being needed and belonging to the family. Understanding these dynamics creates safe strategies to meet the needs of your family and partners in a healthy way. This episode gives the listeners an opportunity to evaluate their relational value, which should create a healthy situation where you belong.
