Episode 39: The Story People Tell About You

You can't control the story people tell about you. In this episode of Un-Shuck Yourself, we explore what happens when someone misunderstands your intentions, judges your choices, or decides who you are without knowing the whole story—and why trying to constantly correct other people's opinions can become exhausting. We'll talk about the difference between taking accountability and defending yourself, why sometimes you really do need to listen when someone points out something about you, and why other times the healthiest thing you can do is simply let someone have their opinion. You can control your actions.You can control your integrity.You can control the person you're becoming. But you don't control the audience. So instead of constantly asking, "What do they think of me?" Maybe it's time to ask: "Do I respect the person I'm becoming?" Because you can spend your entire life correcting people's opinions of you... or you can spend that life becoming someone you respect.  Background music provided by: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-_1Os7hVDw&t=574s All rights retained by artist.
