It's not uncommon for high-achieving women to look successful and accomplished on paper while still secretly feeling like an imposter or trapped by their own success. As a result, they're often unable to fully appreciate their accomplishments, realize their power, show up authentically, or feel free and fulfilled. Along with other competing narratives, the effects of living in a patriarchal system and the trauma of internalized oppression are potent contributors. On the podcast today, we're having a conversation about these issues and providing suggested acts of liberation to break free and...2022-05-1934 min

We all want the acceptance and approval of others. Putting yourself out there is an act of vulnerability because it opens you up to others’ opinions. As Brene’ Brown said, vulnerability is “having the courage to show up when you can’t control the outcome.” When we’re more concerned about what others think than our own opinions, it can impact the way we show up, how we interact with others and our choices in life. That’s called people-pleasing.
