Episode 3203:

Jill Coleman explores the liberating power of not taking things personally, especially in emotionally charged spaces like fitness and physique competitions. Drawing from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, she challenges us to separate our self-worth from others’ actions, freeing ourselves from ego-driven narratives and victimhood.

Quotes to ponder:

"Consider that what other people do has nothing to do with you."

"Allow people to be themselves, without expectation, and you be you, without apologies."

"To assume people are going about their lives deliberately doing things to offend us is SELFISH!"
