Ep 71: Compliment Tolerance

Compliments are like beachside stones—lovely but we want to be able to have that feeling of calm and peace that we get from the beach, with or without the stone.I use this metaphor to say that we can enjoy compliments that we experience, but we can't use them as a measuring stick for how we're doing.In this episode, I'm going to offer you four different angles to look at this from. And then I'm going to talk to you about how we can follow our own hearts, to create new ideas, and to make change in the world by developing the tolerance to take compliments.If you're ready to break the cycle, stick with me, y'all!
