In this episode of the Monday Muse I discuss how to stop giving away personal power in conversations and relationships. I will emphasize the importance of self-empowerment and recognizing self-sabotaging behaviors such as justifying, arguing, defending, and explaining oneself. By understanding these behaviors, individuals can foster healthier relationships and set appropriate boundaries, ultimately leading to personal growth and improved communication.

- Justifying your actions signals a need for approval.
- Arguing often leads to disempowerment and frustration.
- Defending yourself can open you up to judgment.
- Explaining yourself repeatedly can be counterproductive.
- Trusting yourself eliminates the need for validation.
- Healthy relationships stem from self-awareness and boundaries.
- Change in behavior can diffuse conflict.
- Personal growth leads to healthier connections.
