Today, we’re diving into a truth that can feel both hard and freeing: life is too short to keep teaching people how to treat you. Think about it — how often have you found yourself explaining, reminding, or giving endless chances, hoping someone would finally respect your boundaries or value your needs? Maybe you’ve had the same conversation more than once, only to realize nothing really changes. Here’s what I want you to remember: people don’t learn how to treat you from repeated lectures. They learn it from the standards you live. When you honor yourself, you stop convincing and start attracting people who naturally respect you.

In this episode, we’ll explore powerful shifts that help you stop overexplaining and start living with clarity. Because your energy isn’t meant to be spent on teaching lessons over and over — it’s meant to be lived.
