Summary

Have you ever wondered if we (or the entire human race) would enter into total anarchy and violence in the absence of self-judgment, worry over other people’s feelings, or agreement on ethics or morality? More importantly, have you ever wondered *why* you think that would be the case? It all boils down to whether or not you think humans are inherently good or inherently bad - to what you believe the nature of humans is.

Listen to this week’s podcast episode to learn why it’s so critical to examine and intentionally choose your beliefs about human nature, how women’s socialization adds an additional complicated layer to the way we view human nature, and the role our beliefs about human nature play into how we motivate ourselves.

worth value, authority or even just a right to exist without pleasing other people, serving

1:10.7

other people and getting everyone to like us to prove of us at all times. Right. We are

1:17.7

socialized to believe that our value is contingent on what everyone else thinks of us and how

1:24.0

much we do for everyone else. And that impacts the way that we show up in every single area

1:30.5

of our lives. It impacts how we show up at work and our personal relationships and our
