We just got back from Vegas where we saw the Coldplay jumbotron cheating scandal blow up in real time. It got us talking about something we don't discuss enough: other people's choices are not your responsibility.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into why we need to stop taking ownership of other people's bad decisions. Whether it's infidelity, workplace abuse, or childhood trauma from neglectful parents, we're breaking down why victim-blaming needs to stop and how to protect your peace when someone else's choices affect your life.

I'm sharing a personal story about being ghosted by someone who turned out to be getting married while he was seeing me 👀, and how I chose to cut him off completely instead of trying to fix or understand his behavior.

Irene talks about her retail days dealing with abusive customers and how she learned to stop shrinking herself to accommodate other people's bad moods.

We're also getting real about generational patterns: how our parents' baggage affected us and how we can choose to heal instead of continuing the cycle. Plus, Irene is telling you about her mindset shift from resentment to gratitude when ironing her daughter's clothes, because sometimes the best revenge is being the person you needed when you were younger.

In this episode, we're chatting about:

• The jumbotron scandal breakdown
• Personal boundary stories
