Why do kind, empathetic people keep getting sucked into emotional blackmail?

In this episode, I break down the classic FOG framework (Fear, Obligation, and Guilt) and explain why manipulators love targeting “good” people.

I’ll share my own experiences with guilt-tripping family members, boundary-testing friends, andeven the occasional boss who thought emotional pressure was a management style.

We’ll unpack the four “FOG magnets,” how to recognise manipulation early, and simple boundaries that protect your peace without turning you into a robot with no feelings.
