Ever been confused by someone’s reaction to you?
That discomfort might not be about you at all.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • What projection really is (and how to spot it)
  • Subtle ways it shows up (e.g., "must be nice" comments or unfair assumptions)
  • Why we often absorb others' projections as truth
  • The cost of shrinking ourselves to keep others comfortable
  • How to use the Three R’s Framework from The Reset Button:
    • Reflect: Notice what’s really happening
    • Reset: Respond with intention
    • Reinvent: Choose a new way forward
  • A personal story: how I projected my childhood birthday trauma onto my son's party
  • The power of learning to “observe, not absorb”

Takeaway:
Understanding projection helps you stay grounded, protect your energy, and stop carrying what’s not yours.
