We’re taught from such a young age to second-guess ourselves. we learn to outsource our decisions to authority figures, to the opinions of friends, to the collective “they” who always seem to know better.
We internalise the idea that someone else must have the answer, and we forget that answers are often messy, personal, and imperfect.
So we stay in relationships longer than we want to, we keep jobs that make us miserable, we play small in rooms where we could stand tall.
And every time we do that, we chip away at the trust we have in our own voice.
