In this eye-opening episode, Lori Gouhin pulls back the curtain on the emotional games we all play; often without realizing it.

She shares how they quietly shape our relationships, our goals, and the way we see ourselves. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Eric Berne’s classic work Games People Play, Lori translates the concept of psychological games into real-world emotional patterns that keep us stuck, frustrated, and small.

Through relatable examples, personal stories, and actionable steps, Lori teaches how to recognize the games you are playing, why they feel so familiar, and how to finally choose integrity over emotional reflex.

Tune into this episode; applying what you learn here will transform your relationships and your life.

Episode Highlights:

• Realizing the power you gain when you see the emotional games clearly
• Why even self-aware people unknowingly play emotional games
• Naming the games we play
• Lori’s personal reflection: Breaking the "Yes But" loop after her foot injury
• The comforting trap of familiar emotional patterns
• Learning emotional honesty as a skill set
• Weekly Challenge: Spot the game, call it out, and choose a new way forward

You do not have to keep playing emotional games that cost you your power. The moment you choose clarity over old reflexes, you reclaim your freedom.
