Have you ever heard of affirmations?  I do them with my kids.  Having once been told by a classmate that my nose looks like I ran into a wall (true story), it dawned on me one day when my kids were really little that one day some mean kids might tell my innocent little babies that they’re dumb.  Or weird.  Or bad at sports. You know—the stuff that gets you doubting how awesome you are.  

If you hear those lies long enough, you start to forget that you’re powerful beyond measure.  You stop believing you’re wonderfully made.  Instead, you start believing that you're not good enough, that you don’t have time for yourself, that you can’t afford it, you don’t deserve it, you won’t be any good at it.

Some people call this imposter syndrome.  I call it the “You Can’t" Monster.

Tune in to hear more about why we all have one, and what you can do to combat yours when she shows up.
