About this listen

 🎙️Easily Offended? Let’s Talk About That🌼 Feeling constantly triggered by the world around you? In this real-talk episode, Cheri Flake shares why being easily offended can quietly poison your happiness—and how shifting your mindset can bring huge freedom. Through hilarious and heartfelt examples (spiders, comedy shows, awkward jokes—oh my!), she unpacks how humor, forgiveness, and self-love are the ultimate stress busters. Plus, she leads a loving-kindness meditation to help you soften toward yourself and others. 🧡🕊️📚 Episode 10 Key Learning Points:
  • Offense is a Choice: While you can't control what others say, you can control your response.

  • Resilience > Perfection: True strength comes from being real, not perfect.

  • Kindness Wins: When you approach life with compassion, you build immunity against daily stressors.
