Here\\u2019s why self-love is CRITICAL.\\xa0

You think your problem is:

People pleasing\\xa0

Perfectionism\\xa0

Caring too much about what other people need\\xa0

Overachieving\\xa0

Imposter syndrome\\xa0

But the root of all of those is a lack of self-love.\\xa0And this isn\\u2019t in some woo-woo \\u201call we need is love\\u201d kind of thing.\\xa0I\\u2019ve coached thousands of people and the root of almost every problem is some underlying belief of:

I\\u2019m not good enough.\\xa0

\\xa0

It\\u2019s a worth issue. Think about it.\\xa0

That\\u2019s why we so desperately need other people to approve of or like us.\\xa0

That\\u2019s why we try so hard to be perfect.\\xa0

That\\u2019s why we keep checking off all the boxes society tells us to in order to be \\u201cgood enough\\u201d.\\xa0

They\\u2019re all defense mechanisms.\\xa0

Because we\\u2019re terrified that somehow our deepest insecurity might be true\\u2026that maybe we\\u2019re really not good enough in some way.\\xa0

And so we hustle\\u2026we perform\\u2026we give and give\\u2026

But no amount of other people\\u2019s love or accomplishments or perfection will ever outrun that thought.\\xa0

If it would, you would\\u2019ve done it by now.

It only changes when we decide to change our own thoughts about ourselves.\\xa0

It\\u2019s available to you right now.

No need to do or be anything else.\\xa0

And it\\u2019s one of the most important skills to cultivate.\\xa0

On today\\u2019s podcast episode, I dive deeper into why self-love is critical.
