5 Ways to Take Your Power Back When People Disrespect You
About this episode
Today, you and I are calling BS on partners, friends, siblings, colleagues, and roommates who ride on your coattails, mooch off your generosity, and love the fact that you do everything. (While they do next to nothing.…)
It’s time to take your power back with 5 actionable takeaways to get people in your life to step up and do their part.
I’m not messing around. The first person you’ll meet in this episode is tired of being the only one holding her family together.
And during the second coaching session I get even more intense with a woman whose boyfriend hasn’t had a job in three years.
Hear me loud and clear: by enabling other people, you are part of the problem.
There are 5 things you need to know that will change this dysfunction now.
Clear your schedule for the next hour because you and I have an appointment where you, my friend, will learn how to lay down the law and start putting yourself first.
