In this episode, we discuss the ways we unintentionally hold ourselves back. We explore the importance of understanding ourselves when it comes to addressing unhelpful patterns, and share some of the things we might tell ourselves that repeatedly get in our way. Robyn rewatches Buffy and Michelle still loves her Kindle.
