Summary
Are you exhausted from constantly worrying about what other people think of you? Whether it’s your boss, your family, or even strangers, this fixation zaps your energy and keeps you from being your authentic self. But here's the truth: the more you focus on their opinions, the less you connect with your own.
In this episode, I’m diving into why “just letting it go” never works, and why your brain can’t simply switch off these thoughts. I’ll show you how to uncover the deeper beliefs fueling your worries, and teach you how to replace them with thoughts that actually support you.

| 0:00.0 | For the past few weeks, we've been talking about how to stop caring so much what other people think |
| 0:04.7 | about you. And today, I am sharing one of our most popular episodes all about this topic to finish |
| 0:11.8 | off this series called How to Stop Giving a Fuck what other people think of you. It's a stronger |
| 0:17.1 | version of the statement of the brand. This episode is super important because it really |
| 0:22.8 | explains why one of the solutions often given to the problem doesn't work. So in the last two |
| 0:28.7 | episodes, I've been helping you understand the source of the problem, why we care so much about |
| 0:33.7 | what other people think. I've helped you understand why certain opinions other people |
| 0:38.6 | have really stick to us and others were able to brush off and what the difference is. |

| 1:45.2 | episode because you really need to understand why it just doesn't help to keep telling yourself |
| 1:51.5 | to just get over it and what you really need to start doing instead to be able to shift these |
