3. Your Imperfections Make You Money


Listen Later

Every one of us, when we look in a mirror, sees things that we would like to change about ourselves. You probably carry a lot of shame around your imperfection and try to hide them. What you don't realize is that truly embracing and accepting your imperfection, actually makes you money and makes you more relatable to your ideal clients.

And I know you are probably thinking "Sure, Liz" while sarcastically rolling your eyes. But hopefully, by the end of this episode, I will shift your perspective and strengthen your self-concept. Plus, I share with you an exercise to practice that can help you start changing your mindset and the view you have on your imperfections. Lista? Let's tune in!

In this episode, I chat about:
  • Client's story who struggled with anxiety and depression
  • Your mental health and diagnosis don't define you or your capabilities
  • My story of building a multi-six-figure business while battling anxiety and high-functioning depression seasons
  • Navigating hard mental health days
  • Exercise to start changing your perspective and the view on your imperfections

Exercise for this episode:

  1. Write down your top three imperfections that you might feel a lot of shame around.
  2. Next to it, write what you made that imperfection mean about yourself and let yourself sit with that.
  3. Notice what feelings and sensations are coming up for you in your body. (Try not to articulate the feeling or why this is coming up.)
  4. Write a paragraph of self-compassion for that version of you who has carried so much shame around this imperfection.
  5. Repeat the process for all three imperfections.
