I'd rather journey through life sharing life as it is. Comparison is the thief of joy. And then I wrote the first line of the first real post: I acted many years without a why of my own. And I was not my own. This episode is about why women lose themselves \u2014 what the research actually says, why we abandon ourselves and call it love, and what the conversation with yourself actually needs to sound like when you decide to start telling the truth. We talk about the I will be more me when list we keep making \u2014 and why the permission we are waiting for is never going to come from outside. We talk about Deborah Tannen on socialized silence, Bren\u00e9 Brown on performing for belonging, Kristin Neff on the inner critic we mistake for our own voice. And we replace the five false internal conversations with accurate ones. Not affirmations. Corrections. This episode closes the who am I arc and opens the door to the conversations we have been avoiding.  ","author_name":"SayTheThings's podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/saythethings.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
