Description

Do you ever walk away from a conversation and feel like you're the villain — when all you did was protect your peace?

In this episode of The Positivity Xperience, we dive into the emotional smear campaign: those covert moments when someone flips the story on you, uses guilt as ammo, and turns your boundary into your fault. We'll blend psychology, neuroscience and lived experience to help you:

*Understand why your brain falls into the guilt loop

*Recognize the smear tactics manipulators use

*Use three neuroscience‑backed tools to regulate your nervous system when you're being attacked.

*Build the confidence to let the story go and keep your power This isn't about being cold — it's about being grounded. When you are no longer afraid of being misunderstood, you win.

Tune in and get ready to rewrite your story.
