Ever been accused of something that felt wildly untrue—like being “too sensitive” by someone who’s clearly overreacting, or being told you “don’t care” by someone emotionally checked out themselves?
You may have been on the receiving end of projection—a powerful and often confusing psychological defense mechanism.
In this 5-minute bonus episode, we explore:
- 💡 What projection actually is and why it happens
- 🔍 How to recognize when it’s happening to you
- 🛑 How to stop taking the bait and protect your peace
- 🧘♀️ Practical tools for staying grounded and responding mindfully
- 🛡️ Why boundaries—and sometimes distance—are essential
You’ll also hear tips for navigating projection in conscious relationships and what to do when it becomes harmful, unsafe, or emotionally exhausting.
✨ Remember: you don’t have to carry what was never yours.
This episode is your reminder to return to yourself—and set down what someone else is trying to hand you.
New full episodes drop every Wednesday, with bonus episodes like this one every Thursday.
