Do you walk away from certain people feeling small, anxious, or wondering what you did wrong? That’s not an accident — it’s the effect of toxic energy slowly eroding your peace and confidence.

Here’s the truth: you don’t feel horrible because you messed up. You feel horrible because their behavior crosses boundaries - boundaries you were never taught to create and hold - and and it chips away at your self esteem.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why toxic people twist your “no” into guilt (and how to stop falling for it)
  • The most powerful way to protect your energy without apology or over-explaining
  • 3 practical boundary strategies you can use right now to feel calm, clear, and unshakably confident

If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself, replaying conversations, or shrinking to keep the peace, this episode will help you take back your power — and protect your peace — for good.
