Ever found yourself obsessing over what others might think — whether it’s your marathon finish time or a social media post? In this episode, I get real about the all-too-familiar trap of worrying about how others perceive us. I share a personal story from my recent London Marathon experience and a raw conversation with my daughter about peer pressure.
I unpack why we crave approval, how it can hold us back, and what to do about it. I also dive into a powerful quote attributed to Nietzsche: “When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago,” and why exhaustion can bring old insecurities roaring back.
Plus, I share practical tools for tuning out the noise and living unapologetically, even when judgment feels unavoidable.
If you’ve ever hesitated to put yourself out there because of what “they” might think, this one’s for you.
Hit play, and let’s talk about reclaiming your power and choosing yourself over others’ opinions. Don’t forget to subscribe for more candid conversations on creating a life you love.
