Today, we’re talking about something I see happening all the time with the amazing women I know and work with–and something I've done myself. 

Do you have moments where you have a brilliant idea, but you don't speak up because you're worried about how it might be received? Or when you downplay your accomplishments so that you don't make other people feel uncomfortable? Or maybe it's changing your appearance, your opinions, or even your goals to fit what someone else wants for you. Or it could be ignoring your needs and wants to prioritize those of your partner or your friends. 

Believe it or not, these are all forms of self-rejection. We abandon parts of ourselves–our truth, our desires, our authenticity–in exchange for external validation and acceptance. Over time, this pattern can leave us feeling empty, resentful, and disconnected from who we really are.

In this episode, we’ll explore why we fall into this cycle, how to recognize it, and most importantly, how to break free so that we can live more authentic and fulfilling lives where we accept all the little bits that make us our favorite versions of ourselves.
