Today on Chatting With My Amigas, we discuss what showing up as our best selves means to each of us. We talk about how showing up as your best depends on who you’re showing up for. After realizing that we often find it easier to do this at work than to do it at home with our families, we discuss why this is the case, the role of boundaries in the workplace and at home, and why we sometimes struggle to invest in our families the same way we invest ourselves in our work. We also chat about the challenge of finding the balance between being true to yourself while also trying to be your best self when you’re not feeling your best at all. To hear our candid conversation on why we should measure ourselves against ourselves and not other people, how we feel about the standards set by society on the roles of a woman, and the difference between trying to be perfect and trying to be your best self, tune in today!
