Ever catch yourself thinking, “Did I cause that reaction? Was that my fault?” We’ve all been there… holding back, walking on eggshells, or spiraling into guilt because of how someone else responded. But here’s the truth: their emotions aren’t yours to carry.
Rosie breaks down why trying to “own” other people’s feelings keeps us stuck and drained. She reminds us that our real job is showing up with clarity, curiosity, and groundedness, not managing someone else’s emotional world. When we stop taking responsibility for reactions that aren’t ours, we open the door to more authenticity, more confidence, and more sparkle.
Get ready for a mindset shift that frees you from unnecessary weight and helps you lead, connect, and live with greater ease.
Key Reflections:
- We’re not responsible for others’ emotions.
- Our role is to show up clearly, curiously, and grounded.
- Emotional reactions often stem from others’ past patterns.
- Own only what’s yours, not someone else’s response.
- Letting go creates space for authenticity and confidence.
