Ep 26: Why We Care What People Think

I'll never forget the day in my teenage years when I was mocked for wearing shorts, and how that experience taught me how to stay true to myself and embrace my own authenticity. We explore the process of finding our true "yes" and "no", and learn how to communicate boundaries clearly, especially when it comes to pleasing others.We’ll also take a look at the fear of rejection and the impact of our evolutionary biology, and how outdated survival instincts can lead to self-doubt and the constant search for external validation. You’ll learn practices to help you identify and challenge your limiting beliefs, and how to recognize when you're seeking approval from the wrong sources, and steps to embark on a journey towards trusting yourself instead.
