In this episode, we dive into Part 3 of the *Stop Bullying Yourself* series, focusing on reflection and learning from the past. We explore how blaming others or circumstances keeps us stuck in a victim mentality, and how we can reclaim our power by taking personal responsibility.

We highlight the “Value Gain Exercise,” which helps turn difficult experiences into valuable lessons that guide better future decisions. By recognizing patterns in our personal struggles, like failed relationships or setbacks, we can align our choices with our values.

This episode encourages moving past self-sabotage and using lessons from the past to build a more fulfilling, self-aware future.
