Welcome home, lovely!

In this conversation, Jewel shares a personal story about receiving an unsolicited opinion and how she used it to empower herself. She discusses the internal debate we have when someone tells us what they think of us and debunks the belief that other people's opinions are an accurate reflection of ourselves.

Jewel introduces the concept of thinking of others as wearing invisible glasses that are influenced by their own insecurities and fears. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging our own thoughts and beliefs and deciding if we want to operate from them.

Jewel also provides a mental framework for dealing with other people's opinions and highlights the significance of self-acceptance and enoughness.

Welcome home, lovely!

In our very first episode of the Socially Delight-Full Podcast, we explore the concept of social perfectionism, where individuals have extremely high expectations for their social interactions and become highly self-critical when these expectations aren’t met.

We get into the pressures faced by socially prescribed perfectionists and how these pressures can lead to anxiety and low confidence. I share my personal journey of embracing social imperfectionism and how it transformed my social experiences from anxiety-filled to joyful.

You'll learn practical strategies to embrace social imperfectionism and approach your week with more confidence.

In this episode:

• [03:02] Embracing Imperfections: Overcoming Social Perfectionism

• [09:14] The Impact of Social Perfectionism on Confidence and Relationships
