Instead of ”You Deserve Better”

"You deserve better." It's a phrase we say with the purest of intentions that misses that mark. Whatever loss you are facing (a breakup, a job change, or other disappointment) you maybe have been told something akin to "Everything happens for a reason." It's not exactly the most encouraging thing to hear, but we are a people drawn to comfort and drawn to be the comforter to others. In today's episode, Dr. Sherri teaches you how the phrase, "You deserve better," keeps us stuck in problematic patterns that keep us from thriving...and, as always, what to say/do instead. _____ Welcome to Season 7! In this season, Dr. Sherri focuses exclusively on dissecting popular phrases women use to "encourage" one another that actually perpetuate problematic ideals of a woman's worth. Would you like to contribute a phrase for the show?
