EP 25 – Why Do I Struggle to Believe Compliments — Even When I Want To?
You want to believe the praise — but it never seems to land. In this episode, we explore how shame, identity, and early conditioning shape your ability to accept kind words, and why compliments can feel more threatening than comforting. You’ll learn how to stop deflecting and start absorbing, even if it feels awkward at first. If compliments make you shrink, freeze, or fumble, this episode will help you hear yourself through someone else’s eyes — and believe it.
