Why Good People Are Draining Your Energy and Peace
Hustle To Harmony: Practical Productivity Tips for Women in Business & Leadership
If you’re surrounded by relationships that no longer serve you, then this is for you.
We’re not talking about toxic people here either - that’s a whole different conversation.
Instead, these are good people in your life who somehow leave you feeling exhausted, questioned, or small.
Maybe it's the family member who makes those backhanded comments about your goals, or the longtime friend who only knows the survival-mode version of you.
Your nervous system keeps you tethered to these familiar connections because your brain literally experiences social disconnection as physical pain.
I share my own story of choosing my immediate family over a family function and losing relationships because of it - and why I'm completely at peace with that decision.
We explore why "blood is thicker than water" might be keeping you stuck, how to redefine loyalty to mean staying true to yourself, and practical ways to create distance without burning bridges.
You'll also learn soft language techniques for those necessary conversations and discover why not every exit needs an explanation.
