Become the kind of person who can’t be guilted, gaslit, or talked in circles.

You’re not crazy…

Yes — people are distorting the truth, dodging responsibility, and weaponizing language to get their way.
They do it in families. In politics. At work. Online.

And if you care about integrity, it’s easy to feel trapped…

…You either stay quiet and get steamrolled…

…Or you speak up and get find yourself in a stressful situation with a bad-faith actor.

There’s a third path.
