Text me, bestie!

In today's podcast episode I dive deep into something that can feel uncomfortable (I know it is for me), but recognizing it is a powerful step in addressing it <3

And that is, external validation, or, allowing others opinions to sway the decisions or choices we make for ourselves.

As a recovering people pleaser, I know not seeking that external validation to make everyone happy can be a challenge.
But the big question I want you to walk away from this episode today asking yourself is: Am I TRULY happy with my life? With my choices? With my decisions?

As I also mentioned in this episode, I have 5 reflection questions for you to also help you in recognizing and understanding your own self-worth. If you wish to journal on these questions, they are:

1. What are some of your proudest accomplishments or achievements, and why are they important to you?

2. How do you define self-worth, and what factors contribute to YOUR sense of self-worth?

3. Reflect on moments when you have felt confident, capable, and valuable. What were the circumstances that led to those feelings?

4. Consider any negative beliefs or self-doubts that may be impacting your self-worth. What evidence do you have to challenge or dispute those beliefs?

5. Imagine your ideal version of yourself. What qualities, values, and strengths would this version possess? How can you cultivate and nurture those aspects within yourself?

Again, I know this can be a hard thing to admit to yourself.. But just know, we are all human. We all experience these things from time to time, and you're not wrong for experiencing it.
Just know that you ARE so strong, and capable, and smart and beautiful, and powerful...
and your self-worth is NOT held in the hands of others, but within yourself.

Believe that! <3
