Have you ever felt like you were holding someone else’s frustration and calling it your own?

In this week’s episode, I’m peeling back the layers on something I’ve been deeply feeling this season: frustration.

Not just the everyday kind, but the deeper kind—the frustration that comes from misalignment, unspoken boundaries, old trauma responses, and nervous system patterns that we didn’t choose… but that are still running the show.

We explore:

• How frustration is often a symptom of misalignment (not failure)
• Why it’s not just a mindset issue—and how our bodies remember what our minds dismiss
• What it means to take radical responsibility without taking on someone else’s emotional labor
• The connection between codependency, self-abandonment, and emotional confusion
• How money becomes a mirror for our patterns—and what it’s trying to show us

This episode is an invitation to slow down, check in with your body, and gently begin to discern what’s truly yours to carry.

Key Takeaways:

• Frustration is often a sign you’ve compromised your truth for someone else’s comfort.
• Picking up someone else’s emotion—especially their frustration—is a form of energetic enmeshment.
• Radical responsibility is not about blame—it’s about reclaiming your power.
• Your nervous system holds wisdom your mind hasn’t yet made sense of.
• Somatic healing begins when we stop intellectualizing and start listening to the body.

Journal Prompts:

• Where am I currently feeling frustrated—and is it actually mine?
• What part of me am I abandoning in order to avoid conflict?
• When I think about money (or a current struggle), what is my body trying to tell me?
• What would it look like to take radical responsibility without self-blame?
