“So many times we have to ask ourselves, ‘What story are we telling ourselves?’ Are we making up a story because we’re afraid to how they’re going to react? Or have you actually tried to do something, and it didn’t work. And it’s usually the first one. And so it’s just breaking down those sort of mental blocks that you put on yourself and, you know, quieting your inner mean girl, and coming up with a plan of attack of how you want to move forward, being clear on what you want, and then being able to ask for it.”
