In this episode, we discuss how to protect your energy and set boundaries so that you stop giving people power over your emotions and life. We provide tips on how to stop letting people drain your energy, such as practicing self-care, saying no, setting clear boundaries, and building resilience. By practicing self-compassion, mindfulness, and forgiveness, we can develop a greater sense of self-acceptance and inner strength.
