How much of your peace are you giving away without permission? This eye-opening episode dives deep into the essential practice of protecting your mental and emotional space from those who would drain it without adding value to your life.

Lady P vulnerably shares a personal experience where her joyful day was completely derailed by someone who came in "pointing fingers and accusing." What hurt most wasn't the accusation itself, but realizing she had allowed someone else to steal her peace. Through powerful insights and real-life examples, she explains why boundaries aren't selfish—they're necessary for survival in a world that constantly demands our energy.

"Your peace is priceless," Lady P reminds us, sharing practical strategies for taking back control: shifting focus to what truly matters, quieting your thoughts through journaling and meditation, challenging negativity, and letting go of what you can't control. The episode features moving calls from listeners like Nikki, who shares how she's teaching her 11-year-old daughter about boundaries after a friend's hurtful comment disrupted her peace.

Whether you're the person who always ends up planning the entire party when you only agreed to "help," or you find yourself drained by friends who dump their drama on you, this episode offers compassionate wisdom for setting boundaries without guilt. As Lady P beautifully states: "Peace is my power and I won't trade it for anything or anyone." Ready to reclaim your power? This conversation is your permission slip to protect what's precious—you.
