Is this about me???

I received a somewhat disturbing email last week. I had just finished an interview for the podcast, and I was feeling good. As I have been lately. Good enough that I sometimes wonder if I’m deluding myself. You’re not supposed to like work. Be happy. Feel powerful.

Then I got this email.

I recognized her name. It was a reply to my last newsletter. It was long, yet only took a few sentences to realize what it was - a breakup letter.

She wrote about how she’s been following me for six years. How she bought my book and my cards and attended the in-person event I had in New York four years ago. She went on to say she didn’t like me anymore. That she thinks I’ve become hostile.

“As a therapist and follower, and human… I don’t feel you are manic,” she said. “But I do sense people are referring to an elevated state of importance that has been showing up in your opinions lately.”
