In this episode, Sandy and Derek explore what it really takes to stay grounded and true to yourself around anyone—family, friends, partners, or people who trigger old versions of you. They talk about why we sometimes shape-shift to be accepted, why being “seen” feels so powerful, and how to stop giving your peace away. This conversation blends winter energy, self-sourcing, boundaries, and emotional honesty into a warm, relatable dialogue about loving people without abandoning yourself.
