What It Really Means to Be Misunderstood in Your Own Home
You may not be the problem, but what about your environment? Today, I'll share some realistic household power struggles and subtle ways to address those issues without making a gigantic mess.
Have you noticed any emotional, spiritual, or mental changes in your life right now? If so, what’s ONE change you’ve noticed that’s affecting you? It could be a positive outcome, like still having a job to go to or finally getting that raise you’ve been long overdue for. It could also be a negative outcome, like people assuming you are defensive all the time when reality you’re tired of being misunderstood.
