Terri Cole Quotes: “If it feels too good to be true, I want you to pump the brakes.” “If you’re in the dating world, your biggest protection is your boundaries, early and often. It’s asserting your preference early and often.” “An actual complement is not followed up by a request for you to do something.” “Our job is to have our own back. Our job is to go, ‘I can count on me to not people-please myself out of my own integrity.’” “Expect people to do what they say they are going to do.” “Codependency is honestly a covert or overt bid to control other people; how other people feel, how other people act, what other people are doing with their own lives.” “Not every person that treats you well is love bombing you.” “Get used to what it feels like to be respected. Get used to what it feels like to respect yourself, [...] how we feel, what we think, what we want… this has to be the most important thing to us.” “There doesn’t have to be anything wrong with them for them to be wrong for you.” Follow Terri Cole: Website: https://www.terricole.com/ Podcast: https://www.terricole.com/podcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terricole/ Follow Nicole LePera: Website: https://theholisticpsychologist.com/ Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1kVlwHe0ESeAWOuXiXSjyQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.holistic.psychologist/ Follow Me Lisa Bilyeu: Website: https://www.radicalconfidence.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu Twitter: https://twitter.com/lisabilyeu
