A Journey with Vanessa Chiu Vanessa Chiu

You are your own worst critic. No one will be harsher on you than yourself. I know this is true for me. Join me in this episode as I talk about how to silence that voice inside that says you're not good enough and you have to be perfect.

A great piece of advice I got recently is to not take things personally in business and in life.  Easier said than done as I used to take things personally quite often!  But I've been putting this into practice lately and it has been such a boost to my mood and mental health.  I share what I've learned in this episode and what has helped me move forward, and I hope it helps you too!

Rejection sucks.  I can count numerous times where I've been rejected and I remember feeling sadness, anger, and disappointment.  But Marisa Peer's book Ultimate Confidence: The Secrets to Feeling Great About Yourself Every Day helped me I see that rejection can be a good thing.  In this episode, I share my experiences of being rejected, along with how I handle criticism and insults.

I didn't realize how much my negative thoughts affected my mental health and confidence until I actually reflected on it.  In this episode, I share how to break those negative beliefs about yourself and how important visualization is, based on the book Ultimate Confidence: The Secrets to Feeling Great About Yourself Every Day by Marisa Peer.

There have been many times in my life where my confidence was shot.  And most of those times were events that I couldn't control…like getting let go from a job or relationship heartbreaks.  As I reflect on those moments now, I have learned not place my worth and self-confidence on those situations.  The book Ultimate Confidence: The Secrets to Feeling Great About Yourself Every Day by Marisa Peer was suggested to me not too long ago and it has been such a positive influence on my life.  I hope by sharing what I've learned, it will help you in some way too.

I never really liked being vulnerable but I realize how important it is for my personal growth.  In this episode, I talk about 3 things I've learned about being vulnerable.
