Ep 134: Give Yourself Credit


Listen Later

We are usually so quick to blame ourselves when something goes wrong–our thoughts spiral to how we could have been better or done more. But when something goes right, we often deflect and fail to take credit for our accomplishments.

Today, we'll unpack the tendency–especially among women–to downplay our successes while amplifying our failures. We'll talk about why we do this, how it affects our relationships with ourselves and others, and what we can do instead.

Giving yourself credit isn't about inflating your ego or diminishing others' contributions; it's simply about acknowledging the truth of your efforts and abilities. Many of us struggle to do this, so in this episode, I’ll give you tips and tools to help you practice receiving compliments and recognizing the amazing things you bring to the table.

You deserve to feel the satisfaction and joy that comes from recognizing your worth, and that recognition is the foundation for you becoming a favorite version of yourself. A version that knows her value, shares her gifts without apology, and inspires others to do the same.
