Summary
Do you ever wish that life was like the movies, where everything always works out in the end? Well, I'm here to tell you you're one step away from a life that feels like your favorite movie: you have to identify as the "main character."
Breakups (and hard times in general) make us feel so down about ourselves that we feel like we're on the sidelines. This episode will teach you how to romanticize the life you have as a single person.
What to expect:
- How to prevent being a "side character" in life
- Why identifying as the "main character" is empowering
- How to live a life where everything works out for you
