If someone in your life—an ex, a partner, or even a family member—knows how to get under your skin and make you question yourself, this one is for you.
This episode breaks down how to stop feeling powerless, stop reacting emotionally, and start getting your confidence and control back.
Here’s how to reclaim your power:
1️⃣ Set & Maintain Boundaries
The #1 kryptonite for a manipulator is a clear, consistent boundary.
✔️ Identify what behaviors are unacceptable and why
✔️ Call them out in the moment
✔️ Stand your ground every single time they cross the line
2️⃣ Stay Emotionally Detached
✔️ Don’t give them the emotional reaction they’re looking for
✔️ Stay calm, breathe, regulate your nervous system
✔️ Stick to facts, not their emotional bait
✔️ Share less—they can’t use what they don’t know
3️⃣ Seek Support & Perspective
✔️ Talk to your support system (friends, family, coach)
✔️ Get validation for your experience so you stop gaslighting yourself
✔️ If needed, get professional help to break the cycle
💥 Remember: manipulators control by keeping you emotionally reactive and doubting yourself.
The moment you stop reacting and start setting limits, you shift the power dynamic.
If you need help identifying the patterns, holding your boundaries, or cutting emotional ties with someone who keeps pulling you back
