How Real Security in Life and Love Begins Inside YOU
Can you really feel safe with yourself if you're always trying to control everything around you? In this episode, Nina Garcia shares a powerful story about a man named Harry: successful, driven, and emotionally lost. You’ll walk through the six stages of emotional security and learn how real confidence isn’t about fixing the weather, it’s about learning how to stand in the storm. Using the metaphor of your emotional landscape, Nina shows how most of us are unknowingly performing emotional strength while missing the core skills that actually build it.
