I was at a Buffbunny retreat recently and one of our many amazing conversations sparked this episode. We were talking about how we used to play victim to our circumstances and then we learned how to overcome that. One of the girls said, "It's the victor vs victim mentality" and I absolutely loved that! Listen in as I explain what it is!

You were probably told as a child that giving up meant quitting and that was the only way you could fail (or maybe you hear and believe that today). There's some truth to this but there is also some nuance we need to talk about. As I've started a new chapter in business, this is something I struggled heavily with for a few months before coming to the realization I did. Listen in and found out what I mean!

It's easy to let what others think about you dictate your thoughts and actions. I've definitely been there!

A recent Tik Tok sparked this episode and I won't spoil the story I have to share here but the main premise of this story is discussing the importance of communication over reaction.
