In today’s episode of the Butterfly Season Podcast, Aisha dives deep into understanding passive-aggressive behavior and how it stems from an inability to self-soothe or advocate for oneself. She shares personal stories and insights from her own journey, emphasizing how we often engage in others' coping mechanisms instead of addressing our own.Aisha introduces a concept she calls "scratching someone else's itch" — where we take on emotional burdens that aren’t ours to fix. She explores how we can reclaim our energy, self-advocate, and foster healthier relationships by setting boundaries and practicing self-soothing.Resources and LinksNot sure whether you’re in Caterpillar, Cocoon, or Butterfly Season?
