They discuss the different types of stalking, the importance of setting boundaries, and the need for prevention and awareness. Amber shares her journey of demanding a second chance and advocating for stalking laws in Oregon. They also discuss the connection between stalking and domestic violence, and the need for education on healthy coping mechanisms and red flags in relationships. Confidence is interpreted differently by each person, but the key is feeling positive about oneself. Faking confidence can be a helpful strategy to overcome moments of self-doubt. Developing a positive voice and inner diva can boost confidence. Sharing personal stories and experiences can empower others and help them find their own voice. Healing is not linear and scars may always remain, but it is possible to process and file away traumatic memories. In this conversation, Amber Rosenberry and Kristianna Mrjenovich discuss the importance of accepting and embracing all versions of oneself. They talk about how past versions of oneself are still a part of who they are and how it's okay to acknowledge and honor those versions. They also discuss the concept of nesting dolls, where each version of oneself is like a doll inside another doll, and how it's important to recognize and appreciate each version. They emphasize the importance of self-care, both in the short term and the long term, and how it's necessary to fuel oneself with the right things and surround oneself with the right people. They also touch on the need for a shift in society's perspective on relationships and communication, particularly in teaching young boys healthy ways to express their feelings and cope with emotions. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of self-acceptance, self-care, and fostering healthy relationships.
