Hello friends!

In this episode of the series, I want to open up about a challenging day I recently faced, and how I found the strength to persevere, even after encountering a few setbacks. After a grueling 15-mile bike ride over the bay bridge, I surprised myself by not only pushing through but also tackling the task of cleaning an entire tub. It was a moment of true productivity that I hadn’t felt in a while.

Let’s be honest — life can throw curveballs, and setbacks can really test our resolve. During those tough moments, I often find myself needing a private pep talk. You know, the kind where you become your own motivator, your own cheerleader. And that’s exactly what I’m sharing with you in this episode. We all engage in self-talk, and for me, it’s been a journey to transform my inner critic into a source of strength.

I’ve realized that being my own biggest supporter is essential, especially when I’m tempted to be my harshest critic. So, why not let you in on this personal dialogue? Maybe it’ll resonate with you too, and help you find the encouragement you need when you’re facing challenges.

I’d love to hear from you. Do you also have these conversations with yourself? How do you stay motivated when things get tough? If this episode strikes a chord with you, reach out and let me know. Remember, we’re all in this journey together.

Tune in and join me on Spotify as I share my inner thoughts, triumphs, and a little self-love. Because sometimes, the most empowering conversations we can have are the ones we have with ourselves.
