Listen, if you are like most people, you spend a lot of time on social media and it feels like it's a waste of time.

Why not start figuring out how your time on these social media platforms can actually make you some money?

By leveraging those things that you recommend, the products you love, the things that you talk about, the great deal on a rug that you just got,

the lash product that has changed your life. If you're one of those people that believes sharing is caring and you love sharing your favorite things and deals and those kinds of things,

like you should be getting paid for that, but brands aren't going to reach out to you. You need to know how to reach out to them to set up these brand deals.

And again, they don't care if you have a big following. They don't care if you don't go on camera. They just want to know are you somebody that people trust and engage with?

If that could be you and you want to learn how to do this the right way, we have a new mini course that is super easy to get through.

It's really fast to get through and it walks you through the process of how to get started with brand deals.

It's pretty cool. Like we teach you how to pitch yourself. We put together templates for you so you can just like basically copy and paste the email.

I don't know too many people who don't need this episode because almost all of us have relationships with people, whether it's friends, family, co-workers and where there are relationships.

There is the potential for drama. Today we're going to talk about the dreaded drama triangle. And more importantly, I hope is we're going to explore how to get out of it because it's not fun to be in it.

And you might be in one. You might be in when it work. You might be in one in your family or with some of your friends. It's just not fun. So let's figure out how to get out of this. Shall we? All right. Let's do it.

All right. So first shout out to Dr. Michaela Sarno, who first introduced me to this concept. And I remember when she was like telling me about it, I just wasn't that interested because I'm like, yeah, it doesn't relate to me. I'm not in a drama triangle.

But you know what? I probably was in some area of my life. So first, let me explain what the drama triangle is. Okay.

So this is a concept first developed in the 60s by a think is a psychologist whose name was Stephen Carpman and the term was used in psychology to describe the way that we kind of identify ourselves in particular relationship.

So in all of our relationships, apparently, we take on some kind of a role. So we or he says that we take on the role of either the victim, the persecutor or the rescuer. And while we have a natural propensity towards one of these styles, right.

We all at some point or another identify with all three. So in some relationships, you feel more like you're the victim and in other relationships, you feel like you're being persecuted. And then in some relationships, you feel like you're always stepping in and fixing and rescuing. Okay. So here's the other kind of interesting thing about the drama triangle. And there's lots of different interpretations of this.

And I've been studying this because we've got drama in our family and you have drama in your family. There's been drama at work before and there's drama and friendships. But like for me, anyways, when things get really kind of overwhelming or when I start to feel a little bit like a victim, I go into research mode so that I can develop a plan to get out of it because there's nothing I hate more than feeling like I don't have choices. There's always choice.
