    May 15 2024

    As we enter a room, our minds often jump to the assumption that everyone can see our deepest insecurities. However, this is not the reality. Brooke and I discuss the importance of recognizing our self-worth, as being comfortable and confident in ourselves can shield us from dwelling on negative comments from others. It may take time to fully embrace our worth, but it is a journey that requires patience and faith in ourselves. Taking things one step at a time and prioritizing our belief in our strength can help us overcome any hurtful comments directed towards us.
