Edit Your Life Episode 116: Tackling Challenges + Insecurities
We know that facing challenges makes us stronger, but that doesn’t mean it feels great in the moment. Hard things are...hard. No matter how many successes we’ve had in the past, many of us still struggle with self-doubt. How do we respond? In Episode 116 of Edit Your Life, Asha and I talk about our own battles with insecurity and imposter syndrome. We share 7 practical tips for tackling life’s challenges with confidence, or, at least, with self-compassion.
