Summary

Welcome to Fan Mail Friday #31! No jibber-jabber, just a short show where we answer Art of Charm listener mail and give out mini-lessons for the weekend! In this episode: How do you learn to trust yourself and your instincts (especially when it comes to money)? A doctor brings a medical perspective to some advice we gave a listener in a difficult relationship back in Fan Mail Friday #27. Do phrases like "staying at home" and "left at home" make it sound like the person raising the kids and maintaining the sanctuary is doing something less than the person who goes out and brings home the paycheck? How do you overcome a negative association with something that is unfairly lumped in with a bad experience? Stop asking if you can afford to leave a job you hate if the real question is: can you afford not to? It all depends on your risk tolerance. Sometimes the best treatment for a case of Imposter Syndrome is a dose of keeping it real. Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at [email protected]!
