Your Need to Be Right is Costing You Peace: How Ego Turns Everyday Conflict Into War | EU 296
Description
Born and raised in one of Nigeria's most chaotic neighborhoods, Eunice Atuejide learned early how to find joy where others only saw struggle. A lawyer qualified in both England and Nigeria, she's spent decades watching ego (not opposition) destroy relationships, reputations, and peace. Now, she's teaching women everywhere how to pause, breathe, and choose curiosity over control. Because being right might win the argument, but it rarely wins connection.
In this conversation, Eunice joins Veronica to unpack why ego loves to run the show, how childhood trauma shapes our need to prove ourselves, and why letting go is the most radical act of strength. From courtroom lessons to kitchen-table wisdom, Eunice reminds us that peace isn't found in perfection, it's found in perspective.
