"That snarky text you're about to send? Don't."

You know the feeling—your ex does something that makes your blood boil, and suddenly you're watching yourself craft the perfect comeback on Facebook or fire off a text that will "show him." Your brain is screaming "DON'T SEND IT" while another voice cheers "GIVE HIM WHAT HE DESERVES!"

Every time you lash out, you're proving his point.

In this episode, Julie reveals why that moment of satisfaction from "telling him off" is actually sabotaging the life your really want. She exposes the real cost of emotional flooding—and why your pain-driven reactions are keeping you trapped under his control.

The kicker? When you lash out, you're not releasing pressure—you're blowing the lid off a pressure cooker and scalding everyone nearby, including yourself.

This isn't about becoming a doormat—it's about becoming so emotionally strong that he loses the power to push your buttons.
