Do you ever feel like someone’s pulling your strings — using guilt, pressure, or emotional manipulation to get what they want?
You say yes when you mean no. You walk on eggshells to keep the peace. You twist yourself into knots trying not to disappoint anyone.
And even though you know it’s draining you… it feels impossible to stop.

In this talk, we go deep into what it takes to rise from that place of powerlessness — and remember the strength you’ve always had. The first step is knowing it’s absolutely possible. This isn’t about “toughing it out”… it’s about learning how to power up instead of continually powering down.

You deserve to feel free, steady, and in control again. Enjoy!
