Episode notes
Early Backlash and Resilience
- Leila Hormozi faced intense early criticism about her voice and being seen as just her husband's secretary.
- These attacks challenged her identity but helped her develop resilience over time.
Approval vs. Identity
- If you let others' approval or criticism define you, you lose your true self and become a reflection of their preferences.
- Anchoring your identity in your own values prevents you from drifting into someone else's version of yourself.
Applause Is Not Truth
- Don’t let applause be your guiding star; it's only others' preferences, not truths or values.
- Always question if what is praised aligns with your own deeply chosen values before continuing.
