Ep 53: How to Overcome Feeling Trapped by Life
Did you catch THE interview with Meghan, Harry, and Oprah this week? With over 28 million viewers on Sunday night between the UK and US, I am sure you have at least heard rumblings of it by now.
The thing that stuck out to me was how Meghan said she felt trapped. It struck a cord because I understood how she felt. I felt like that too at one point.
Listening to the interview was a reminder that none of us ever knows what’s really going on in someone’s life. They could seem like they have it all together and are living an envious life, but they could feel trapped and suffocated.
And it dawned on me that if I had felt that way - when anyone who looked at my life might have envied it - then others are feeling this way too.
If that’s you, I want you to know that you are not alone. It’s okay to feel this way, or to have felt this way, but let’s find a way out because it’s not okay that you stay there.
So, today’s show is all about 5 tips to help you get to the other side when you feel trapped or like you’re just going through the motions and hardly see the point of it all.
