🎙️Easily Offended? Let’s Talk About That🌼 Feeling constantly triggered by the world around you? In this real-talk episode, Cheri Flake shares why being easily offended can quietly poison your happiness—and how shifting your mindset can bring huge freedom.

Plus, she leads a loving-kindness meditation to help you soften toward yourself and others. 🧡🕊️📚 Episode 10 Key Learning Points:
