HOW TO ELEVATE YOUR LIFE | TRENT SHELTON

About this video

Shelton discusses what he calls “relational intelligence” or being “people smart” when choosing who to allow into one’s life. He warns that some people enter your life not to support you but to use you for your connections, success, or other resources. Shelton outlines specific tactics manipulative people use—including securing your insecurities, pressuring quick decisions, and infiltrating your inner circle—and encourages viewers to trust their discernment and protect their boundaries.
