Life isn’t always a straight climb up.
Sometimes it’s a goddamn rollercoaster.
But here’s the thing: No matter what season you’re in, you deserve self-compassion. You deserve to recognize how far you’ve come. And you deserve to celebrate yourself—right now, not just when you hit some imaginary finish line.
In this episode, I go LIVE in 'The Soundboard' to reflect on my own life—what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and how I’ve learned to stop comparing my journey to everyone else’s. We’re talking about:
🔥 KNOWING your why & ASKING why—because getting to the root of what drives you is the key to truly knowing yourself. 🔥 Having compassion for yourself in the tougher seasons—because beating yourself up won’t get you where you want to go, boo boo. 🔥 Recognizing your growth—it’s easy to focus on what’s next, but have you taken a second to appreciate what you’ve already done? (Our members reflect on this one alongside me!) 🔥 The importance of ‘borrowed belief’—why you don’t need to “fake it till you make it,” but you can lean on others’ belief in you until you believe it yourself.
Join our community where we dive deeper, support each other, and have the kind of unfiltered conversations you won’t find anywhere else.
