Episode 2411:
Lisa Merlo-Booth explores two key relationship lessons: embracing self-confidence by celebrating personal achievements without shrinking to please others and fostering accountability by overcoming defensiveness in conflicts. These insights empower individuals to cultivate deeper, healthier connections by embracing authenticity and courage in both triumphs and mistakes.

Quotes to ponder:
“Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.”
“The strongest, healthiest, and most courageous human beings are those who own their mistakes and do whatever is necessary to relationally fix the hurt or fallout that resulted.”
“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”
