Being too self-absorbed or too self-aware can be problematic if you're seeking a  fulfilling, meaningful life and healthy relationships. Gaining awareness and choice around your habits in these aspects of your life allows you to show up in all your relationships in a more powerful way. If you're in relationship with others who are self-absorbed it can feel disappointing and uncomfortable. In this episode, you'll have the opportunity to consider your own behaviors and attitudes around self-absorbed and self-aware, as well as looking at others in your life and how they are showing up so that you might communicate about what you want. You are also invited to consider what true confidence is in light of this topic.

Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration.
