About

A lot of the challenges we face—like people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, or feeling like a fraud—come from the state of our relationships, both with others and with ourselves. We live our lives in connection with other people, and it’s almost impossible not to be affected by how others see us. When we try too hard to avoid rejection, it can actually hold us back from living in a way that feels true and meaningful. This can leave us feeling even more unsure of ourselves—especially if we've been in toxic or abusive relationships.
