In this episode, we dive deep into a common challenge faced by many parents: dealing with other people's opinions. We often spend so much time trying to control what others think about us, whether it's our parenting style, our decisions, or even our personalities. This episode will help you understand why it's not only impossible but also unnecessary to control other people's opinions and how freeing it can be to let go of that need.

Key points covered include:

• The futility of trying to control other people's opinions and why it's exhausting.
• How focusing on others' opinions can hinder your ability to be present and aligned with your true self.
• The concept of the "common denominator" and why different people have different opinions of you.
• The importance of showing up as your authentic self and the freedom that comes with it.
• Understanding that criticism is often more about the critic than the person being criticized.
• Strategies for handling criticism and why it's crucial for personal growth.
• How to be okay with people not liking you and the power of self-approval.

Join us as we explore these themes and more, helping you to release the need for external validation and to embrace your true, authentic self.
