Let's unravel the truth about emotions, self-leadership, and resilience. Other people’s words, actions, or judgments don’t actually cause your feelings—your thoughts do. When you realize this, you stop giving away your emotional power to your boss, your in-laws, your spouse, or even your kids.
Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:
Why feelings are created by your thoughts, not by other people’s words.
How to recognize your “tender spots” and stop letting criticism or judgment reinforce old beliefs.
Real-life examples—from family conflict to workplace feedback—showing how we give away our power.
Practical steps to shift from external validation to inner strength, so you can parent, lead, and live with more freedom.
✨ The dream? To stop spiraling in guilt, defensiveness, and self-blame—and instead show up grounded, confident, and loving.
If you’ve ever felt controlled by what others say or worried about how they see you, this episode will help you break free from the myth and reclaim your emotional resilience.
