Description

Resentment has a sneaky way of building walls between us and the people we love most. Left unchecked, it eats away at connection, fuels scorekeeping, and convinces us we have to protect ourselves at all costs.

In this Mental Firepower Monday, Erin breaks down a simple but powerful tool called “Show Your Hand.” It is designed to create a neutral space where you and your partner (or anyone in your life) can put resentments on the table before they gain power.

You’ll hear:

• Why resentment feels protective but ultimately erodes trust and intimacy
• The difference between healthy boundaries and holding grudges
• How to use the Show Your Hand tool to clear the air with honesty and respect
• Why acceptance, not control, is often the missing piece in letting go
• A real-life example (yes, even the infamous dishwasher debate) that shows how control can fuel resentment

Plus, Erin shares details about the next full episode featuring Doug White, author of Hiding In Plain Sight, who opens up about betrayal, healing, and the ripple effects of unresolved struggles at home.

Download your free PDF guide to the Show Your Hand exercise and start practicing it with your partner, friend, or colleague. Just make sure both of you agree to the ground rules before you begin.

Because when resentments lose their grip, connection gets the chance to breathe again.
