About this episode

Sarah and Tanna discuss the impact of caring too much about others' opinions and how to overcome it.

We all do it. We shrink. We hesitate. We almost don't show up  because of a story we invented in our own heads about what someone else might think. In this episode, Sarah and Trainer Tanna get real about one of the sneakiest performance killers out there: caring too much about other people's opinions. Sarah shares the moment she almost skipped a speaking event because of someone she thought didn't like her...and what happened when she showed up anyway. In this episode: Why the stories we tell ourselves are usually wrong "Consider the source" and ask if you'd trade places with your critic Selective caring: not all opinions deserve equal real estate in your head The cost of living for other people's approval (hint: you lose yourself) How fear of judgment shows up in the gym, in the HRM community, and in life Using doubt as fuel instead of a stop sign Tightening your circle; whose voice actually earns a seat at your table The shift that changes everything: Stop asking "Do they like me?" Start asking "Do I like me?"
