Some people don’t believe in your mission, your healing, or your values.
They just learn to sound like they do—because it gets them something.

Here’s what they’re really after:


1. To Get Close Without Earning Trust
They mimic your language so you’ll let your guard down fast.

2. To Borrow Your Reputation
When you vouch for them, others assume they’re trustworthy too.

3. To Gain Control
Once inside, they may try to take over the narrative, the space, or the decisions.

4. To Avoid Accountability
If they “talk the talk,” it’s harder for people to believe they could cause harm.

5. To Be Seen as Special
Pretending to share your values helps them collect admiration and praise.

6. To Divide and Conquer
They may cause drama or confusion to stay in control and look like the victim or hero.

7. To Feed Their Ego
They want attention, influence, or power—not connection, growth, or truth.


Reminder:
Someone using your values like a costume is not a team member.
They are a threat to your safety, mission, and peace.

Discernment is not cruelty.
It’s protection.
