The Love Of Purple

Ever find yourself trying to get someone to change? Be nicer. More supportive. Less annoying. More your way? Yeah… same 😅 In this episode of Love of Purple, we’re talking about why trying to change other people is exhausting, why it rarely works, and what actually creates peace instead. Here’s the truth: everyone lives by their own set of beliefs and values. And when we try to change someone, we’re asking them to betray who they are. No wonder it doesn’t go well. In this episode, we’ll unpack: Why we feel the urge to “fix” or change people How beliefs and values shape behavior (whether we like it or not) What acceptance really means (and what it doesn’t) How to figure out where people actually fit in your life And the dreamy effect that happens when you stop trying to control others and start living in alignment This isn’t about giving up on relationships — it’s about creating honest ones. Less resentment. More clarity. More peace. If you’ve ever felt drained by trying to make people different… this episode is for you 💜

Boundaries & People Pleasingare just the beginning. In this episode, I share the real work I do as a life coach - from finding your voice and regulating your nervous system, to reconnecting with your whole body, doing inner child work, and stepping into the life you actually want.  It's not about fixing yourself. It's about coming back to your truth.   Press Play... Let's GO!!  Find me on all Social Media platforms to ask me any questions :) Or email me at Krista@kristakokot.com
