We all have them—those people who just rub us the wrong way. The ones who challenge your patience, poke at your insecurities, or seem to test your emotional limits. In today’s episode, we’re talking about “sandpaper people”—the difficult relationships that actually refine us if we let them. You’ll learn how to shift your mindset, stay in your confidence, and use these interactions as unexpected opportunities for growth. If someone’s been getting under your skin lately, this episode is exactly what your heart needs. Have you ever met someone who just… grates on you? Not because they’ve done something awful—just their presence, their energy, or maybe the way they talk or act—it just rubs you the wrong way. I call them sandpaper people. And while they might drive you crazy, they also might be one of the greatest gifts for your personal growth—if you let them. Today we’re diving into how these frustrating people can actually shape your confidence, sharpen your self-awareness, and soften your heart… without letting them walk all over you. ✅ ‌ FREE CLASS!
