“Learn about yourself and appreciate your strengths before falling into the trap of “I’m not good enough”.” - I love the encouragement to lean into what feels good for you, not matter what those around you are doing. It’s a permission slip to see yourself and your needs. So so so important. 💕

Yes! So very important! I may envy a successful YouTube creator and feel like my small channel doesn’t measure up, and forget that my strength lies in writing and engaging individuals one on one, which comes easy to me. If I try to put my beautiful blue sky puzzle piece into your beautiful green grass space in the puzzle, the entire picture will be out of whack.

💯

I feel the same way about YouTube. I just have no interest in editing or telling a story in that way. I’m too impatient! Haha

I also feel like my life isn’t very aesthetic, so I might be tempted to show a fake side of myself - so that doesn’t feel aligned.

Maybe once I get my dream cottage in the woods. Right now it’s the home we raised 4 kids in with no renovations - it is welllll loved! 😂

I’m working on that dream cottage in the woods as well 😉 Our kids are grown and grand baby #7 is on the way 😳, so yeah, I think I’ll take authentic over aesthetic.

In many ways I feel like social media has us all trying to keep up with inauthentic standards (hence my love of Human Design)
