## Resource

Happy Resurrection Sunday! Today is a day of rising above being mocked, devalued, and entirely underestimated—which makes it the perfect time to talk about the "spectators" in our lives. In this episode of Underestimated Strength, Dr. Erika Seaborn dives deep into the difference between a true supporter and a spectator who just wants to extract your knowledge for free. Sharing a personal story about how people have tried to weaponize her albinism, visual impairment, and soft-spoken voice to gaslight her into giving away her expertise, Dr. Erika explains why setting boundaries is the ultimate form of self-esteem. You are the architect of your life, and your blueprint is not free. Tune in to learn how to identify extractors, deliver a soft-spoken (but firm) "no," and use the audacity of others to build your unshakeable resilience. Have you ever dealt with a spectator trying to "pick your brain" for free? How did you handle it? Let me know in the comments!
