How to Stop Carrying Other People's Problems (Hype Yourself Up Pep Talk)
Today's pep talk is for the Chick who's exhausted from carrying everyone else's problems like they're her own.
Welcome back to Being Relatable. This is part of my Hype Yourself Up Pep Talk Series, where I'm helping you let go of what you are not taking into 2026 and step into a HYPE worthy year.
Here is a hard truth: Not everything people hand you belongs to you. Sometimes their criticism is about their fears. Their lack of support is about their own limitations. Their drama is about their unhealed stuff, not your worth.
When someone projects their insecurity onto you, it can feel tempting to fix, smooth, explain, or carry it. But you are allowed to mentally say, "This is not mine," and put it down.
Question to ponder: Whose story have you been carrying as if it were your own truth?
Tiny action: Visualize writing that person's name and "their issue" on a sticky note and placing it outside of your front door. You are not responsible for solving it. Notice how your body feels when you imagine stepping back inside without it.
Take this a step further: If your goal is to let go of other people's problems and projections, join us for the HYPE Worthy Year Bootcamp. We'll map out the environments and relationships that fuel you and identify the ones you need more distance from in the year ahead.
