Love Yourself Podcast by Allie Serrano

Guest: Esther E. Laurenceau Author: The Ugly Truth My Love Life Sucks! A story about love and learning from our own choices. Intro: "My name is Esther E. Laurenceau, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, East Flatbush. My family is of Haitian descent. Furthermore, I attended Metropolitan College of New York and earned my degree in human service in June 2019, and my master’s degree in public administration June 2025. “The Ugly Truth My Love Life Sucks!” stems from my last traumatic toxic relationship which led to incarceration and ruined my livelihood. After a while, I got tired of venting and seeking advice from others who could not give me a solution. I needed something more because throwing a petty party was draining. I decided to stop internalizing the pain and began journaling by jotting down my thoughts, ideas on paper which gradually turned into chapters and my first published book.   About Alie Serrano I love empowering women to live the life of their dreams.

In this episode, I discuss the fear of heights and overcoming fears in general. I share my experiences with balance issues and growing up in a high-rise building, my fear of heights. I explore how the fear of heights relates to the fear of success or failure, and why some people might sabotage their success because of this fear. I also talk about how you can overcome the fear of heights, such as understanding the fear, visualizing success, going one step at a time, and practicing relaxation. At the end of the day, it is important for you to enjoy the journey and to be proud of your progress on your way to reaching your dreams.

In this episode, I discuss the fear of not being perfect and the importance of embracing imperfections. I share a story about a client who was afraid to be photographed because she hadn't seen herself in photos in 10 years. I talk about how everyone feels imperfect and that being imperfect makes us relatable to others. It's ok to show your human side, as it is more relatable and gets more love on social media, especially if you are trying to get engagement on your posts and social media content.
