Are you unintentionally watering yourself down?

In this week’s episode of Let’s Unravel, Christina Esther explores what it really means to embrace your self-worth, stop diluting your identity, and show up as your authentic self.

Christina dives into relatable stories and pop-culture moments from How I Met Your Mother, Mean Girls, Friends, and more—revealing why so many of us tone ourselves down to fit in, and how to break the habit for good.

Sticky Thoughts (thoughts that stick):

  • Don’t be watered-down apple juice
