    Self Deprecation Is Hindering Your Potential

    Do you belittle yourself, put yourself down, and criticize everything you do? In this episode we’re delving into those moments of life where we can’t seem to resist self deprecation.

Therefore, it is crucial to be mindful of the language we use when talking about ourselves and differentiate between self-criticism and self-deprecation.
