Why does getting what you want sometimes feel so wrong? You finally speak up, advocate for yourself, and even win—but instead of feeling victorious, you’re hit with guilt, second-guessing, or a sudden urge to backtrack. What is up with that?  Well, in this episode, I’m sharing a real-life situation that left me wondering ...
