This Might Ruffle Feathers... But Your Feelings Aren’t Their Fault

In this video, I bust a myth that many of us have grown up believing: that other people are responsible for how we feel.
This is often a sticking point for many of my 1:1 clients—and understandably so. When someone says something hurtful or behaves badly, it feels like they’re causing our emotional reaction. But is that the full picture?
I explore:
Why your mood plays such a big role in how you experience other people’s words or actions
How believing something about yourself (or not) changes your emotional response
Why understanding that your feelings come from you (not them) is actually empowering
And how we can still set boundaries and take care of ourselves without giving others power over our inner state
This isn’t about blaming yourself or excusing bad behaviour—it’s about pointing to where your power really is. You don’t need other people to change for you to feel okay. This video explains why.
