When you speak from the heart and someone still blows up, goes quiet, or walks away upset, it’s easy to feel guilty, like you did something wrong. But you can’t control how other people respond. You can only control how you show up.

In this episode, we talk about why taking on other people’s reactions drains your energy and how to start letting that go. You’ll learn how to notice when you’re carrying emotions that aren’t yours, and how to come back to peace by standing in your own truth.

Inside this episode:

  • Why we take responsibility for other people’s emotions
  • How early patterns of “keeping the peace” follow us into adulthood
  • A story that shows what happens when you stop holding someone else’s script
  • The cost of managing everyone’s reactions
  • A simple 3-Part Check-In to help you stay grounded in your truth
