Lesson 1: Family That Drains vs Strangers That Elevate 🙃⬇️ vs 😎⬆️

⏱️ 10–12 minutes | Why blood isn’t always your biggest blessing

There’s a myth that family = support.
In real life, especially in barrios where everyone’s stressed and overloaded, family can be your biggest energy leak.

Some family brings:
🔥 guilt
🔥 pressure
🔥 comparison
🔥 emotional chaos
🔥 “why are you trying to change?” vibes

Meanwhile…
A stranger you met last week can treat you with more respect, encouragement, and belief than your tío, your prima, or your mamá’s best friend.

It’s not betrayal to outgrow your environment.
It’s survival.

Here’s the truth most people feel but never say:
Not everyone who shares your blood shares your future.

And that’s okay.

Your job isn’t to cut people out with hate.
Your job is to build the connections that grow you, and have gratitude for the ones who pushed you—even if they pushed you by accident, through stress or friction.

Gratitude removes the shame.
Clarity builds your new circle.
And your new circle builds your new life.
