Epi 265 Stop Being a Prisoner of Other People's Expectations

In this episode, we explore the wisdom behind the saying, Never argue with people. Discover how saving your energy can lead to more meaningful connections and personal growth. I will share my own experiences and how I was able to choose peace over conflict and discuss the benefits of letting go of unproductive arguments in daily life. It's time to let go and put ourselves first for once. Don't give your power to others by arguing with people who have already made the decision to misunderstand you. Most people don't care and will take advantage of you if you let them. That is just the world we live in today. Remember only select only a few people into your inner circle.

The Elite Coaches Series Presents: R. Layla Salek, PhD today's episode we dive deep into the complexities of the human experience. My special gusest is Dr. R. Layla Salek, PhD, a renowned psychologist and expert in forgiveness. The main topic in todays episode is forgiveness truly necessary for healing? Forgiveness is often hailed as a key to moving forward after hurt, but is it always the answer? Does it truly bring peace, or is it more about personal growth and emotional release? Dr. Salek brings her extensive knowledge to explore the science behind forgiveness, its potential benefits, and the deeper psychological truths that can help us heal—whether or not we choose to forgive. Stay tuned for a thought-provoking conversation that could change the way you view healing. R. Layla Salek, PhD, is retired from a twenty-year private practice. She trained professionals and parents in behavior psychology techniques to help children with behavioral disorders. She sits on multiple boards and is the founder of Susie Bean Gives (⁠www.susiebean.org⁠).  She just released her first book, Chaos in Color, the captivating story of Layla’s journey from childhood to adulthood with a mother who suffered from untreated bipolar disorder. Each chapter paints a vivid, heartbreaking picture of the abuse, neglect, and trauma that she experienced as she grew up at the mercy of her mother’s bipolar swings, an incompetent mental health system, and the strangers with whom she was often left She is also a travel photographer and writer and is working on her second book, Dear Caregiver. About Chaos in Color: From a young age, Layla Salek has experienced some people as colors—her mother brown, her father green, her husband rainbow. As she notes, sometimes, when words fail, colors speak. Chaos in Color is the captivating story of Layla’s journey from childhood to adulthood with a mother who suffered from untreated bipolar disorder. Each chapter paints a vivid, heartbreaking picture of the abuse, neglect, and trauma that she experienced as she grew up at the mercy of her mother’s bipolar swings, an incompetent mental health system, and the strangers with whom she was often left. But dissipating those times of darkness were moments of love, joy, and happiness that she felt while being cared for by others in her life. These moments inspired her to start her own family, complete a doctorate in psychology, and work with children with mental illness and severe behavior disorders. Layla’s story traces how personal and familial trauma is carried into adulthood and how it can be released through forgiveness. This honest, provocative memoir offers a relatable account for others who have experienced similar trauma, as well as hope for healing and a future full of light.

**Episode Title: How to Love Yourself by Connecting with Your Inner Child** In today’s episode, we’re exploring how to nurture self-love by reconnecting with your inner child. Many of us carry emotional wounds or limiting beliefs from childhood, but healing starts with compassion and understanding. Your inner child is that part of you that needs love, validation, and care. To start, try speaking kindly to yourself as you would to a young child. Acknowledge your fears, celebrate your joys, and allow yourself to feel freely without judgment. By honoring your inner child, you can release old patterns and cultivate a deeper, more compassionate relationship with yourself. Remember, self-love is a journey, and it begins with treating yourself like you would someone you deeply care about—because you are worthy of that love. Tune in for more tips on embracing your true self and healing from the inside out. Credit intro: Instagram. @ashelymaland Your support means the world to me!
