57: Looking at your past to face your future with confidence ft. Gabby Bernstein Mar 21, 2022

Show notes

We all have a narrative that we tell ourselves, based on the things we learned growing up. This narrative often defines who we are and how we see ourselves. But what happens when this narrative stops working for us? What if we want to break away from it and free ourselves from the negative self-talk and feelings of not being good enough? This week, we’re sitting down with NYT Best-Selling Author and motivational speaker, Gabby Bernstein to talk about her latest book, “Happy Days.” We talk through the practical steps we can take to shift our perspective to break away from the negative self-talk and how important it is for us to look at our past to face our future in parenthood with confidence and less reactivity.
