Let’s be honest—blaming your parents, your partner, or your past feels good in the moment. But staying stuck in blame mode? That’s emotional quicksand.
In this episode, we’re getting real about the hidden payoff of complaining, why venting keeps you from healing, and how to shift from reaction to responsibility—without bypassing your pain or excusing bad behavior.
If you’re tired of spiraling in “Why am I like this?” and ready to step into “What can I do with this?”—this one’s for you.
🎧 Tune in and learn:
– Why blaming is a form of emotional outsourcing
– How to recognize if you’re in a complaint loop
– The mindset shift that turns triggers into teachers
– Somatic tools to move from reaction into healing
This episode is a loving call-out with zero shame—just truth, growth, and a little tough love. Let’s stop circling the wound and start doing the work.
