Education
Dr. Emee Estacio is the author of the best selling Psychology in Your Life series of books and world renowned expert in community health and applied social psychology. In this episode, Emee and I discuss: The importance of mindset in setting goals, having grit, powering through and making your goals a reality. Managing our emotions and balancing our feelings. Dealing with imposter syndrome (feelings of self-doubt, incompetence, and hiding imperfections that make you feel like a fraud). Understanding that healing can begin when you acknowledge that you are human and that we all need help sometimes. Fear and its positive role in human existence. Self-publishing your book one step at a time. Key Takeaways: Emee’s favorite self care practice is using the TLC technique to explore her inner critic message, understand where it is coming from, and move forward. Is it true, is it logical, is it constructive? Emee’s advice for young women is to not be too hard on yourself and don’t compare yourself to others. Emee’s advice for capturing your own personal power and courage is to embrace yourself. Understand that you are not perfect, and when you embrace yourself warts and all, you can embrace yourself for the badass that you are. "Your self doubt, this feeling of incompetence, all this fear that you might be experiencing. Always remember that you have a message that’s worth sharing. That there are people out there who’s lives will be transformed because you have written your story." — Emee Estacio Connect with Emee Estacio: Facebook: Self Publishing Made Simple Website: Self Publishing Made Simple Books: Change Your Life for Good Imposter Syndrome Remedy Fear is Not My Enemy CONNECT WITH CYNTHIA: If you'd like to chat with Cynthia, sign up for your Personal Safety Preparedness Consultation with her today!
