Episode notes
Own And Share Your Distrust
- Sit down and admit your distrust comes from past wounds, not the current partner, and ask for their help as you process it.
- Verbalize triggers so your partner can support you without taking blame for your insecurity.
Runway Truth With Kindness First
- Invest in people first so truth has a runway; express kindness, affirmation, and care before blunt correction.
- Give people a vision, then challenge them, and use command only after trust is established.
Don’t Mirror Their Shadow
- Avoid matching someone’s shadow; never respond to a toxic interaction by mirroring it because the last negative actor gets blamed.
- Protect yourself by choosing not to bring your shadow so you won't be remembered as the one who escalated.
