Ever felt hurt because someone didn’t reply the “right” way, remember the thing, or show up how you hoped?


In this episode, we’re talking about the manual - the invisible rule book we carry around for how other people should behave so we can feel loved, supported, or okay.


We’ll explore:

• What “the manual” is
 • Why ADHD brains can turn unmet expectations into rejection stories
 • The difference between making a request and trying to control someone
 • How to take back the emotional remote for your life
 • Why boundaries are not the same as manuals


This one is an absolute game changer for your relationships AND your emotional life!
