The Thing About Blind Spots Is You Can’t See Them (Budgeting, Relationships, & More)

The Thing About Blind Spots Is You Can’t See Them (Budgeting, Relationships, & More)
Caroline Smith

Have you ever had a blind spot about something in your life that you couldn’t see on your own? You needed someone else — a friend, family member, confidant — to point out the problem that you just couldn’t see for yourself.

It happens to the best of us. That’s why having companions is so important for humans — even if you would describe yourself as an “introverted misfit.”

Recently, I had an experience where a blind spot in my financial life was revealed to me. In hindsight, the solution to the problem was staring me in the face everyday, but I couldn’t tell because I was too close to the problem. It was a problem I had been replicating over and over again for years. It had become second-nature to me, and even though the fix seemed simple, I needed help to see it.

Similar blind spots can exist in your relationships and your social life; you can’t always see the roadblocks that are preventing you from having successful relationships and a healthy social life.

Join me as I discuss how not seeing the blind spots in your life can keep you stuck in the same unsatisfactory situations for months or even years, and how outside help — coaching, therapy, true friendships — can help you spot and fix the issues.
