Episode notes
Let Them, Let Me Framework
- Stop trying to control other people and reclaim the time and energy you waste on their behavior.
- Use "let them, let me" to focus your response and choose constructive actions instead of reacting.
Acceptance Reduces Stress
- Accepting others as they are reduces the primary source of daily stress: other people.
- That acceptance creates space to deliberate how you will respond rather than waste energy trying to change them.
Let Them Doesn’t Mean Tolerate Harm
- Recognize harmful situations and choose a protective, practical response like HR, leaving, or legal action.
- "Let them" doesn't mean tolerating abuse; it means redirecting energy to actionable steps you control.
