The Danger of Saying You're Fine: Honest Self-Reflection with Alicia Dupree

We say "I'm fine" on autopilot, even when we're not. Master coach Alicia Dupree wants us to catch ourselves right there.Alicia joins host Shreya to explore why self-reflection isn't about hunting for flaws, why growth rarely moves in a straight line, and how three simple questions can stop a negative thought spiral.About the Guest: Alicia Dupree is a Master Certified Professional Coach and founder of The Busy Woman's Blueprint. She works with women one-on-one and in workshops on self-reflection, self-worth, and consistency, and recently published a book by the same name.Key Takeaways:Self-reflection isn't about listing your flaws, it's about noticing what you couldn't see before.Saying "I'm fine" is often a way of lying to yourself as much as to others.Growth rarely moves in a straight line, what matters is how fast you reset after a setback.When a negative thought spirals, ask if it's true, if it's helpful, and if it's kind.Stepping outside yourself and asking what you'd tell a friend can interrupt harsh self-talk.Connect With the Guest: Website: aliciadupree.com Book: The Busy Woman's Blueprint, available on Amazon Instagram: @CoachAliciaDupreeEpisode Chapters:[00:00] Welcome and Meeting Alicia Dupree: introducing tonight's conversation on self-reflection[03:00] (approx.)
