The Purposeful Career Podcast

Ever wondered why some relationships leave you feeling emotionally exhausted? Discover the keys to navigating midlife relationship drama without losing your peace. In this final part of our three-part series, we address the tricky terrain of dealing with individuals who harbor negative feelings toward you, even if you don’t share those sentiments. From family members to colleagues, we delve into the impact of these strained interactions on your well-being and offer practical strategies to handle the passive-aggressive behavior that often accompanies them.
Tune in to learn how to manage difficult social interactions by mastering the art of maintaining emotional distance. We'll introduce the concept of an "energetic force field" to protect your emotional health and share the importance of recognizing and neutralizing negative thoughts about others. Curiosity and empathy are your best allies in understanding why people act the way they do, and we’ll guide you on when it’s best to avoid initiating conflict resolution. Equip yourself with the tools to remain neutral and emotionally detached, ensuring that you emerge from these complex situations with your sanity intact.
