We all deserve to walk through this well-feeling confident, capable, and totally freaking awesome. And guess what? Letting go of shame and guilt is a key to unlocking that powerful energy within.

Remember those jeans from high school? Yeah, the ones you saw looked amazing, but now feel ridiculously uncomfortable and outdated. Shame and guilt can be just like that. They're rooted in past experiences, maybe even childhood stuff that no longer serve us, but we keep clean to them because they've become familiar. It's like a comfort zone, even if it feels more like a prison cell sometimes.

Your worthiness is inherent built in and never out for debate. Think about the baby they're born into this world with an unshakeable sense of self-love and acceptance. They don't worry about being perfect or having it all figured out. Number three, forgiveness is key, both for yourself and others. Ever heard the saying holding onto grudges is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die? It's so true. When we hold onto anger and resentment, we're actually harming ourselves more than anyone else. It keeps us trapped in a cycle of pain and negativity. So, practice forgiveness, even if it feels hot at first. You deserve peace and letting go of those heavy feelings is the first step. Number four, embrace your imperfections. They're what make you unique and beautiful. Seriously, nobody's perfect. We all have flaws,

You're amazing, capable, and whether you've all the good things life has to offer. Now, let me tell you about a tie in my struggle with guilt. Picture this. It was during a huge presentation at work.

I realized that being kind to myself wouldn't race the mistake,
