Episode notes

This chapter explores the importance of accepting that not everyone will like you, using criticism as motivation, and understanding that negative opinions are often a reflection of insecurities. It also discusses the psychological issues behind trolling and cyberbullying, introduces the concept of 'tall poppy syndrome', and emphasizes the impact of positive relationships on personal growth and self-esteem.

Many of us find ourselves obsessively focused on the opinions and judgements of others, letting their opinion of us influence our sense of self worth and confidence. However, true power and success comes when we embrace the courage to be disliked and recognise that the negative words of others come from their own insecurity, rather than as a reflection of us. In this episode we break down this concept, alongside the role of reputation, conformity, the chameleon effect and how we can embrace our authentic selves, our TRUEST selves to live in our power.
