Summary

I'm talking about one of the most important things you can work on, no matter where you are in life: building security within yourself. I'm covering what self-security actually looks like, from meeting yourself with compassion instead of judgment to physically calming your nervous system, taking small risks to build self-trust, and aligning your actions with your values. I also share some of my own story and walk you through the signs that you might need to work on this more. At the end, I tackle a dating dilemma from someone who's scared to bring up an important topic, fearing it might rock the boat.
