Episode notes

Sally Kohn: We have all of these beliefs and the sad thing is that everybody's got them. Nobody talks about them and nobody gives you tools to actually deal with them, right? Like tools that are based on something that is substantial rather than just think positive thoughts or affirmations. She says we need this toolkit, we need these practices; our brains naturally can do this stuff with a little bit of training. Salkin: I felt like it was important to be able so that people can start to realize their potential.

Denise Jacobs teaches us how to banish our inner critic. She motivates us to realize what we’re capable of creatively. She encourages us to overcome the fear of the unknown by turning that fear into curiosity. She also guides us into how to ask for feedback in a way that’s healthy and beneficial to us.
