EP229 Minisode: The Black Mirror

You’ve probably heard me say the common phrase “the call is coming from inside the house” — but what if every judgment you make about someone else is too?

In this episode, Colleen unpacks the concept of The Black Mirror — the idea that your emotional reactions to other people are often projections of the stories, beliefs, and insecurities you hold about yourself.

You’ll learn how to flip the script when you're triggered by someone else's behavior, turn judgment into powerful self-awareness, and use emotional sobriety skills to stop reacting from fear and start responding from clarity. This is shadow work, made practical.

This episode is for the woman who is ready to take her power back… by owning what’s hers and releasing what isn’t.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• The traits you judge in others often reflect disowned parts of yourself.

• Emotional reactivity is a mirror — not a fact.

• Changing “they think…” to “I feel…” is a powerful way to access hidden beliefs.

• Boundaries come from clarity, not resentment.

• Emotional sobriety means learning to feel what you feel without making it mean something is wrong with you.
