In this episode, I’m reminding you of one powerful truth: don’t take it personal.

Most of the time, when people snap, criticize, or pull away, it’s not really about you—it’s about the battles they’re fighting within themselves.

That’s projection, and it shows up when people drop their heavy bags of trauma, fear, or stress onto whoever is closest. The good news is, you don’t have to carry what doesn’t belong to you.

I share four ways to protect your peace: pause before reacting, build empathy, strengthen your boundaries, and anchor in your worth.

Your peace is too precious to hand over, and their words or moods don’t define who you are. So when someone comes at you sideways, take a breath, stand in your worth, and keep showing up as your authentic, empowered self.
