It's NOT about YOU! How to stop taking things personally and protect your peace

Why do we take things so personally—even when we know it’s probably not about us?

In this episode of Two in the Closet, Beth and Jen unpack the emotional, psychological, and even physical impact of taking things personally—and how to stop the spiral.

From unanswered texts to feeling ignored or disrespected, they explore how old wounds, nervous system responses, and ego-driven stories shape our reactions.

• Overanalyzed a text message
• Felt instantly rejected or “too much”

What you’ll learn:

• Why taking things personally isn’t about being “too sensitive”
• How your nervous system is trying to protect you
