86. Don't dim your spark, go to brighter rooms

About this episode

Meg Kuang discusses the importance of not dimming your spark and how to navigate doubt and criticism.

If you’ve ever been called “too much” or caught yourself shrinking to fit in, this episode is your reminder to stop giving power to the wrong voices — online, offline, or in your own head. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned about navigating doubt — from the voice in your head that says you’re not credible, to the people who can't clap for you. Let's talk how I’ve reframed criticism, the psychology of haters, how to protect your precious energy, the influence of your circle, and mindset shifts for building true confidence so you can shine even brighter in the face of resistance!! Because your spark is not up for debate besties — it’s proof you’re on the right path. --- ⊹ LINKS ⊹ 🌻 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Meg Mondays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎵 TikTok: ⁠ ⁠@megkuang⁠ 🎀 ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠ --- ♡ SUPPORT ♡ Leave me a rating/review ★★★★★ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a paid subscriber⁠
