Hype Women Up with Erin Gallagher
About this episode
Tangible Takeaways:
- Confidence has so much to do with clarity: be clear about where you stand on things and who you are. With clarity in hand, confidence is soon to follow.
- Stand in your power - no longer abandon yourself in service to other people.
- Avoid taking all feedback as direction and advice. You’re allowed to be selective on what feedback you’ll take into consideration.
- We have been taught our entire lives that other women are our competition and their success detracts from ours - this is a lie! Make a decision to not only hype other women but also to hype yourself.
