S2E12 Heather Criswell: The Emotional Investment of Being Famous + How to Be a Better Parent
Heather Criswell, creator of WiseInside, Author and Kid Whisperer, says: It is so important to me to bring to the world a sense of love and wisdom that each and every one of us have inside. We are special and we have such immense worth, simply because we are here.
In a world of uncertainty, pain, and struggle, it is so easy to forget your greatness.
The biggest source of pain I have experienced is the feeling of Disempowerment:
The bully that told me year after year I was too fat for anyone to love me
The doctor who told me I would be diabetic for the rest of my life
The family member insisting we raise our child their way
A business mentor telling me “You need to follow my steps to be successful.”
A personal trainer who said I would never lose weight unless I followed his system
A friend judging my success based on money and fame.
From these disempowering circumstances, a knowing bubbled up within me that, even though others may want the best for us, we are the ones who possess the solutions to our challenges. Each one of us showed up on this planet with the built-in wisdom to truly empower ourselves.
