Today’s episode is about a topic that resonates with many of us - I’m calling it the perception gap. You might think of it as why we don't always see ourselves the way others do.
I’ll explain what causes this phenomenon, including our past identities, perfectionism, and blind spots arising from our inside-out perspective, and reveal powerful strategies to overcome self-critical patterns, channel your inner brilliance and step boldly into the future you deserve.
This episode will help you align your self-perception with reality so that you can shift confidently into your next chapter. Let's jump into this enlightening topic!
