Not Turning the Other Cheek this Time
Thu Sep 25 2025
We’ve all been told to forgive, be strong, and push through. But what happens when those same ideas become traps that keep us stuck in stress and struggle? In this episode, I dive into three things:
• The raw self-talk I use to stop spiraling when stress hits.
• Why we’re addicted to struggle in love, life, and business, and why it’s not noble, it’s toxic.
• The messy myth of “turning the other cheek,” and how forgiveness without boundaries is just self-betrayal.
This isn’t about being polite or perfect. It’s about being real, setting limits, and choosing peace without the guilt trip.
