What if the goal isn’t to be understood or liked by everyone?
In this episode, I talk about the freedom that comes from letting people misunderstand you, judge you, and think whatever they want.. without needing to correct them.
I share my own story of learning to let go of approval, how I stay grounded in who I am, and the internal reminders that keep me from slipping back into people pleasing.
We cover:
• Why explaining yourself drains your energy
• How approval seeking kills confidence
• The paradox, when you stop trying to be liked, people respect you more
• Simple, practical ways to build courage and self trust over time
This is a conversation about identity, inner peace, and choosing to live from alignment instead of validation.
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood or worn down from people pleasing, this episode is for you ✌️
