59: I Can’t Change You, I Can Barely Change My Gym Schedule

What if the most liberating thing you do this week is unlearn a habit that’s been running your life on autopilot? We dive into the messy, honest work of letting go: letting go of fixer energy, of forcing timelines, of giving weight to words that don’t line up with actions. I share how I’m learning to accept my place in people’s lives without taking it personally, and why meeting people where they’ve met themselves can save you from disappointment and emotional whiplash.

From there, we get practical about boundaries that don’t require drama. We talk about walking away without matching rudeness, believing consistent behavior over pretty promises, and recognizing that inaction is still a choice that tells you everything. I open up about the hard pill of being the villain in someone else’s story, how therapy helps me spot projection and take accountability, and why “strong” isn’t about absorbing more—it’s about refusing to abandon yourself. If self-respect is a muscle, keeping small promises—to rest, to move, to stop chasing closure—builds it.

We also unpack the lure of the endless “why.” Curiosity can become a trap that drags you back into chaos for answers that don’t change the facts. My intuition usually knows first, and when I honor it, I skip a lot of pain. If you’re ready to trust your gut, choose your peace, and invest in relationships where words and actions match, this conversation will feel like a deep breath.

Subscribe, share with a friend who needs stronger boundaries, and leave a five-star review to help others find the show. Then tell me: what are you unlearning right now?
