Talking with Anu Gupta, author of “Breaking Bias: Where Stereotypes and Prejudices Come From - and the Science-Backed Method to Unravel Them” and Founder of BE MORE with Anu, opened my eyes to just how sneaky bias can be in our lives. I’ve been calling myself out on limiting beliefs lately, but realizing that bias is woven into so many little choices we make–that was huge. The big takeaway for me? We can unlearn these habits. We can SHIFT our thinking, show ourselves some compassion, and start rewriting the stories we’ve been carrying around for way too long. Bias isn’t a life sentence. With the right tools, we can break through it and start living with a whole lot more CLARITY, CONFIDENCE, and CONNECTION. I’m fired up to keep learning and growing, and I hope you are too!
