How would you act in a scenario if you believed you...

We're our hardest critic and sometimes no matter how hard we work, how productive we are, it's still not good enough. We could have done more. We should have been doing something else.  Today we discuss a topic sparked by something said in my Elegant Excellence Mastermind around self judgement. Mom guilt, beauty/weightloss, relationships, or business, many of us go down this shame and guilt spiral...

Interviewing 5 friends who had walked through miscarriage, divorce, loss of a child, called off wedding, loss of a parent – it was heartbreaking the theme that emerged. One in which we as friends, panicked. Got awkward. Didn't know what to do, so we did nothing. Thanks to their stories though, now we know what to do. We're empowered and emboldened to love well. Everyone said "people disappeared"....

We want to be liked. But none of us like everyone one else. So it makes sense we aren't going to be the exception. Yet most of us still wish we were! This is why it's so hard to get negative criticism.  Today we talked about why haters hate. One thing I've discovered is that it's a defense mechanism because hurt people hurt. It's a way to make sure people don't get too close. And they continue to...
