In today’s episode, I explore the topics of mistakes, collaboration, and self-worth. As a former people pleaser, I used to be a perfectionist. Maybe you can relate. And as a perfectionist, my sense of self-worth was wrapped up in my achievements. It was so bad that at one point, as the Event Director at Hay House, my team gave me a nickname: Bru (short for Brujita), which means “little witch” in Spanish. The reason why? Because I allowed no room for error in my team. It took me years to realize that making mistakes and asking for help doesn’t make you less of a person. And when you can figure out how to learn from your mistakes and accept the help of others, it takes a ton of weight off your shoulders and frees you to be a happier person.
