It's Okay to Struggle with Self-Confidence, But Still Give Yourself Compassion

A reminder to myself – I know it’s hard, but don’t be so hard on yourself. I saw this quote the other day that read, “While you’re being overly critical of yourself, someone is admiring your strength.” And I thought to myself, how absolutely true. My anxiety lately has been through the roof. I wrote […]
