This is a Fan Fav episode. When it comes to handling triggers, setting boundaries, and staying composed when all you want to do is LOSE it, trust me—I’ve been there! In this episode, I’m answering your questions about how to respond (not react!) when people push your buttons, ways to shut down rude behavior with calm clarity, and how to set boundaries without losing your empathy or self-respect. I’m breaking it down step-by-step, sharing the exact scripts and mindset tricks I use (and practice—again and again!) so you can navigate even the toughest conversations with confidence. No sugarcoating, just honest, actionable advice from my own hot-headed, work-in-progress journey.
