FIND OUT WHAT MOLDS YOU. In this episode, we're going deep. Both of us dive into what brought us to this journey of self-development and instances from our past that made us who we are today.

• Developing a life mantra of "Not Being Enough" beginning at a young age
• The negative implication of this mantra leading to settling in relationships, over-giving, and placing her worth outside of herself

[10:12] How we both struggled with self-doubt

• The key word of the day 'rumination'

[11:30] Natassia delves into her past

• Low self-esteem and lack of confidence that started in high school
• How your environment can affect you negatively
• The struggle of overcoming perfectionism - you're never going to be good enough

[16:15] Falling in love with yourself

• We've been there and it's a process
• Say it with us, "I LOVE MYSELF" every day
• Wouldn't you rather feel good and love yourself?

[19:56] Self-reflection and tips

• What's something that molded you into who you are today?
• Mental health awareness - Talk to somebody
• Acknowledge the past or the hurt & let it go
• Bad habits and the way we talk to ourselves. Reprogram the negativity.
• Self-help books & podcasts. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

We hope that in sharing our experiences today that we have inspired you and shed some positive light on overcoming similar struggles that you may be going through. You are not alone and we would love to hear your story on what has molded you to be the person you are today, the good, the bad, and the ugly, we want ALL of it.

THE ORIGINS OF BAKLAVA!!! This is what you all have been waiting for. We created our own greeting / goodbye over the years. It involves hand hugging and saying "Baklava" while staring into each other's eyes. Where did it come from? We don't know… sorry! We have really bad memories. But we will close all of our episodes with Baklava, because now you're part of our Baklava club too (be honored because it's a very special club).

Books mentioned: The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins. Honestly, anything from Lisa Nichols. Build Your Empire by Elena Cardone. Check out Darren Hardy, Tim Ferris, Grant Cardone.
