Love Back Bigger

It’s easy to be kind when others treat us kindly. The real test is when someone hurts, disappoints, or lets us down. In those moments, our instinct is often to lash out, blame, or retaliate — and before we know it, we’re caught in cycles of hostility that leave us depleted.

In this episode, I invite you to practice what I call loving back bigger. It doesn’t mean being a pushover. Sometimes we absolutely need to set boundaries, speak up, or stand our ground. But it does mean learning how to do those things without losing ourselves in reactivity, resentment, or hatred.

Together, we’ll explore how to:

Remember the shared humanity in those who hurt us.

Release blame and reactivity, even when it feels justified.

Stay true to your own values instead of being dragged down into the behaviour of others.

Even the smallest steps toward loving back bigger can restore your own peace of mind and free you from cycles of anger.
