Protecting your peace when faced with people who aren't on your side is crucial for your wellbeing, especially during difficult times like grief. Victoria shares her personal experience of dealing with negative energy and unsupportive people while mourning her father's death and taking on new responsibilities.

• Not everyone likes us or roots for us, which can be especially painful when it comes from friends, colleagues, or family
• Victoria shares her experience of defending her late father's memory and generous nature against jealousy and criticism
• Dealing with negative people during grief adds extra weight to an already difficult situation
• When people show they're not on your side, believe them and stop wasting energy trying to prove them wrong
• Someone's negative behaviour reflects them, not you
• Protect your inner peace by detaching emotionally, setting boundaries, and limiting access
• Redirect your focus to people who support you and build a network of safety nets
• Give yourself permission to not tolerate negativity or feel responsible for fixing difficult people
• Protecting your peace isn't weakness—it's power, leadership, and how you rise
