This episode comes from a place of finally accepting that other peoples opinions of me don't have to matter. I used to be pushed and pulled by the opinions of others, wanting to protect myself from negative things being said or thought about me.
From over a decade of real life experience with negative perceptions and opinions, in 2024 I think I've really let it go. You don't have to see me the way I see myself. You can be stuck on whatever view you have of the world, me, yourself and none of it has to be true to me and influence the reality that I live in.
External validation does not define your worth is really landing for me and I hope if you're stuck in a people pleaser cycle, you find a way to still believe in you, for you.
