Why do we care so much about what other people think?

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, we’re having an honest chat about that constant need for approval and why it's so exhausting! I’m diving into my own journey of always worrying about others’ opinions and how I finally learned to let that go (well, mostly… still working on it!). We’ll talk about the moments when I felt like a total stranger in my own life because I was living for everyone else instead of just being myself.

We’ll get into the nitty-gritty of why we feel this way, how to start letting go, and what it actually means to show up as the most authentic version of you. And yes, I’ll be sharing some practical tips and little exercises that have helped me stop overthinking and just be ME.

So, if you’re ready to have a heart-to-heart about living life on your own terms, grab a cup of tea, get cozy, and let’s figure this out together. You deserve to be loved for who you really are, and this episode is all about helping you see that!
