Description

Whether it's someone in your past, someone you're dealing with today, a stranger or a client you work with, it's important to realize that most of the time, when someone is mean to you, it likely has nothing to do with you.

So don't dwell on it. Don't let mean people's comments have any power in your life. Don't internalize their comments. And certainly don't give any undeserved energy to it!



Easier said than done. It's hard to shake things off sometimes.

I don't mention this until the end of the episode, but I want to make sure I clarify a couple things before you jump in and listen today:

1. I am not excusing hurtful behavior. I wholeheartedly believe in accountability and consequences. I just want to provide you with a different perspective on how to view / better understand the mean people you'll come into contact with and help you realize it likely doesn't have anything to do with you.
   
2. Healing is a very personal journey. I don't want this episode to come across like a bumper sticker answer on how to “feel better." Not my intention at all. I'm not providing advice on how to heal from hurtful people but shedding some light on understanding the “why” behind their actions. So take what's helpful in this episode and ignore the rest if it doesn't serve you.
