Beliefs That Keep Us Small Pt.2 - As Women

Sometimes, it comes down to those deep layers of what you believe of your self-worth, and the validity of your voice. Don't let conditioned beliefs keep you from what you truly want to do! With that, welcome back to Inner Archeology, where we will be continuing with part two of a mini-series on the topic of beliefs that keep us small. Today, we focus specifically on beliefs that keep us small as women, touching on things like being assertive and how society perceives it differently coming from males and females, we touch on gender constructs and biases, language limitations, body language, trying new things, and the whole idea of judgments and how they can expose areas of personal growth. We end the discussion by talking about the idea of attention-seeking, whether it’s inherently wrong, and the blurry line between when it’s negative and positive. Join us today for all this, and so much more, as we talk through limiting beliefs that keep us small as women! Enjoy!
