Doing Life DifferentlyThe Weekly Dwell: The Victim Trap (Part 1)This week’s Weekly Dwell is a heavier (but important) conversation. I’m talking about something that has stolen joy from my life in the past and still tries to creep in if I’m not careful: the victim trap.This mindset shows up everywhere—in business, marriage, parenting, leadership, and friendships...and often hides behind our best qualities like perseverance, responsibility, and drive. In this episode, I share personal stories of how those gifts can quietly turn into self-sabotage when fear and control take over.Part two is coming next week. Thanks for list...
