Be unapologetically you (in spite of yourself)
Published at : September 28, 2021
Episode Summary:
Why is it so easy to advocate for others and so hard to advocate for yourself? Arrested at 17 for organizing an anti-Apartheid rally that brought 60,000 people in one day...
She’s felt outrage at the unjustness to others, but apologetic about her taking up space. Listen as Jay shares her passion as an activist for others alongside the challenges of being as confident on the inside as she comes across as on the outside.
Episode Notes:
A few takeaways:
-You have the right to take up space.
-Find the voice you use on others and give some of it to yourself!
-Your value as a person is in “being” not “doing” - you’re okay just by being you vs. having to perform
-Do the thing and confidence will come; not the other way around.
-Complete this sentence: “I forgive you for…”
-Make your own choices versus doing what others want (wished she had said “no” to her dad about going into finance)
-Book recommendation: “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself” by Dr. Joe Dispenza
