In today’s episode I want to talk about the overwhelming concern of other people’s opinions about us. If you find yourself preoccupied with what other people think or have to say about you, know that it’s completely normal to worry about what other people think about you. Historically, we needed to care about other people’s opinions because our survival depended on it. Within a tribal community, resources were scarce, and danger was everywhere, and you needed to make sure the medicine woman liked you, otherwise she’d refuse to treat your venomous snake bike! Later, as societies developed, so did systems like sexism, patriarchy, and the idea that women were inferior beings whose purpose was to serve domestically and sexually. While that message isn’t explicitly taught to us anymore, the idea that women’s value is dependent on other people’s approval of them is still with us today.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to get curious about your concern of other people’s opinions
- The antidote to caring about what other people think
- How to build true self-confidence
