Shownotes

If you’ve ever twisted yourself into knots trying to keep everyone happy, your boss, your partner, your parents, your kids, this episode is for you.

Cecelia unpacks one of the most liberating truths she teaches in coaching: you can’t create feelings in other people, and no one can create feelings in you. It sounds simple, but understanding this changes everything. In this episode of Millennial Midlife, you’ll learn why people-pleasing and emotional management are learned survival strategies, how to stop taking responsibility for everyone’s reactions, and what true emotional freedom feels like. Cecelia shares client stories, examples from daily life, and practical ways to reclaim your time, energy, and peace by letting other people own their emotions, while you take care of yours.
