***************************************

True power comes from knowing your worth doesn’t depend on what others think. Healing starts when you let yourself try, fail, and be imperfect.

When you feel out of control, you might wait for others to approve of your decisions. This need for approval can hold you back from growing and healing. Giving yourself permission means accepting your imperfections, mistakes, and risks. It’s about trusting yourself, not waiting for approval.

You might be waiting for the “perfect” moment or the right tools, but it’s not about being fully prepared. It’s about taking the first step, even if it’s not perfect. When you show up as you are, you build trust and confidence in yourself. Stop waiting for others to say it’s okay. The most important permission you need is from yourself. That’s where healing and growth begin.

In this episode, you'll learn how to give yourself permission to take action, make mistakes, and grow without seeking approval from others. Discover how to build trust with yourself, create internal safety, and let go of the need for external validation. Tune in to learn how to stop waiting for others to grant you permission and start empowering yourself to move forward.

"You have to start giving yourself permission to do it poorly. There has to be a level of permission to make a mistake, to make a mess." – Jennifer Arnise
