Summary
Ahhhh Insecurities. I feel like they are used against us in all areas of life.
Advertising, social media, internet trolls, trends, unhealthy relationships and even well meaning friends and family!
this ep uncovers what insecurities actually are, the common behaviors to look out for in yourself, and how to learn to live with, embrace or change (in a healthy way) the things that you are insecure about so they no longer control you and how you move forward in life.
Secure people are not those with zero 'flaws' or things that they don't love, they are people that despite these 'things' are able to love who they are and be comfortable with that. and when that happens, no one can use your insecurities against you.
Brain Fact - Fen Phen and why it got discontinued.
