Ever feel like multiple voices are battling in your head when you’re stressed?

One part spirals into shame.

Another jumps to defend, fix, or shut down.

And sometimes, a calmer voice steps in with clarity.

Your power lies in noticing which part is in the driver’s seat.

Next time you’re triggered—who shows up first? And who do you want to lead?
