Ep #14: Are you your own ride or die?

09/02/22 • 17 min

Your ride or die is a friend who always stands with you. Someone who celebrates you in the good times and comforts you when things turn bad. A friend who always has your back, whether you’ve been betrayed by another person or by life itself.

But often, we're not this way with ourselves. When things go wrong, we judge ourselves rather than supporting ourselves.

In this episode, I'll share two core beliefs of ride or die friends and how we can use them to be our own ride or dies.

The ability to be your own ride or die is life-changing. You'll want to listen to this one more than once, and to come back for next week's practical magic, when I'll share useful ways to have your own back.

One way to have your own back is to surround yourself with people who believe in you -- like me! Sign up to receive my weekly email, a burst of joy and love in your inbox.
