Summary

Until the last couple of years, I hated having my photos taken, no matter where they were shot, what I was wearing, or how I looked.  All I saw in them were my flaws: my frizzy hair, double chin, belly rolls my height… you name it. The self-criticism was endless, and the family events and online dating were a nightmare.

After using some of the tools that I will share with you on today’s episode, I am now able to genuinely see myself as photogenic without lying to myself. Join me as I share my favorite brain hacks for learning to love how you look in photos (as well as real life) and transform your life forever.

But also we did something called Equis, I think that's how you pronounce it, it's unclear, coaching, which involves getting

It was it super wild. I am not really a woo-woo person or coach as you guys can tell, but this was really intense.

1:07.7

I may tell you guys about it at some point because it brought up a lot for me and I really learned a lot.
