This Impact Makers episode features Mindset Coach Paul Fitzgerald and his take on the transformative power of self-acceptance and self-love.

We discuss: 

• Paul opens up about his own experiences with inner conflict, identity loss, and living an inauthentic life. He reveals his inner struggle and thoughts of wanting to die, ultimately leading to a turning point and a desire for change. 
• The importance of being authentic and true to oneself, even if it means not being popular with everyone. 
• Paul encourages his clients to start with small compliments to themselves and gradually build self-acceptance. 
• Paul's coaching approach involves tough love and straight talk to help his clients break free from old patterns and the masks they wear.
• The idea of imagining a conversation with a higher power in one's final days and the regret that might come from not pursuing one's potential. The goal is to inspire clients to take action and make positive changes in their lives.
• The need for all people to learn to love themselves and challenge societal norms around self-worth and the idea of “self-love” particularly for men. 

Quotes:

• "Be authentic, just be you, just be the true you."
• "Sometimes you won't be popular with everybody, but that's okay."
• "Let's open the possibility that you can love yourself."
• "Start with something that you can be okay with about yourself."
• "When you're lost, the next natural progression is to be found."
• "In your final days... we had this amazing stuff planned out for you, and you messed it up."
