The Life Box: A Simple Practice That Reminds You You’re Loved | Mid Week Tease
Legally Clueless
Some days we forget. We forget how loved we are. We forget the moments that made us proud. We forget the days we laughed until our stomach hurt. And it’s not because those moments didn’t happen. Psychology shows that our brains have a negativity bias, meaning painful experiences stick longer than joyful ones. Over time, our minds can begin to tell us a story that life has mostly been difficult, even when joy has been present all along. In this week’s episode of The Mid Week Tease, Adelle shares a practice she calls The Life Box. It’s exactly what it sounds like: a physical...

info_outlineBut what we don’t talk about enough is what comes after.
The emotional exhaustion.
The loneliness that settles in when you stop over-giving, over-explaining, and abandoning yourself for the comfort of others. In this Mid Week Tease episode, Adelle Onyango explores the rarely discussed emotional aftermath of boundaries, especially for women who have spent years being the strong one, the reliable one, the emotionally available one. This conversation is not about “how to set boundaries.”
It’s about what it feels like to live with them.
- Why setting boundaries can feel lonely before it feels freeing
- The emotional exhaustion that follows when your nervous system finally slows down
- How boundaries expose relationships built on access and emotional labour
- Grieving connections that couldn’t meet you at your new level
- Resisting the urge to undo your growth just to avoid discomfort
- Learning to sit with space long enough for healthier connections to form
“Why do I feel so tired?”
“Why does it feel so quiet?”
“Did I do something wrong?” You didn’t. You’re in transition.
