Protect Your Peace: How to Stop Letting Folks Play with Your Emotions

In this episode of Not Yo Avg Auntie’s Podcast, we’re talking all about emotional control because let’s be real, people will try you, but they don’t have to shake you.

Jo, Ki, and Jay break down how to protect your peace in a world that stays doing too much from that passive-aggressive coworker to the person who cuts you off in traffic and waves like they were right. 😒

We’re sharing real-life moments where emotional control (or lack of it) could’ve gone left, but didn’t. We talk about how to respond instead of react, why setting boundaries is crucial, and how knowing your triggers can help you avoid a meltdown.

Whether you’re dealing with workplace drama, relationship tension, or just trying not to let Instagram comments get to you, this episode is your blueprint for moving smarter, not louder.
