In this episode, I talk about my journey of personal growth, sharing the ups and downs of dealing with unsolicited advice, judgment, and how we see ourselves. Life has a way of throwing challenges our way, but I’ve learned that these moments often hold the biggest lessons if we’re willing to embrace them.

Let’s be real—unsolicited advice can be annoying. But I’ve come to realize that it usually says more about the person giving it than it does about me. Judgment? Oh, that’s often just a reflection of someone else’s insecurities or shame. And when it comes to how we view others, it’s usually shaped by what’s going on inside us.

One of the things that helps me stay grounded is starting the day with prayer and mindfulness. It sets a positive tone and reminds me to stay open to life’s lessons—even the hard ones. Speaking of hard lessons, criticism used to sting, but now I see it as an opportunity to grow. Approaching feedback with an open mind has been a game-changer.

Asking for help? That used to be tough for me. I thought it made me weak. But guess what? It’s a sign of strength. We’re not meant to do life alone—everyone has their own journey, and we all deserve support along the way.

One of my biggest takeaways is this: life is about the journey, not just the destination. Embracing vulnerability has deepened my connections with others and strengthened my sense of self. Self-acceptance is key to finding true happiness.
