#77: Your Inner Voice Is the Main Character ft. Jessica Faith Graham
Have you ever stopped to consider that the key to your success isn’t just what you do, but how you treat yourself in the quiet moments? We’re taught to push harder, to prove our worth through effort and external validation. But what if the real game-changer is something simpler—and more profound—than that?In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Faith Graham—children's book author and therapist—who’s here to flip the script on what success actually means. Self-love isn’t some fluffy idea; it’s a career flex.The way you treat yourself when no one’s watching shapes the way you show up when everyone is. Want better opportunities, more fulfilling work, and real success? It’s time to start showing up for yourself first. Forget hustle culture. Forget proving yourself to everyone else. It’s all about you and your relationship with yourself.This isn’t about spa days or feel-good affirmations (though, love those). It’s about showing yourself grace, building self-trust, and believing that you are worthy of the opportunities you desire. The quiet confidence that lets you move differently, take up space, and build a career that actually fits you. The career you want? It starts with the most important meeting of the day—the one where you meet yourself. This conversation is for anyone who’s ready to understand that success starts from within. It’s time to start showing up for yourself in ways that nurture your soul and empower your path forward. When you make this your priority, everything else will fall into place.✨ If this episode hit home, drop a quick rating.
