    Borrowing the Belief

    This week, I'm sharing my thoughts on borrowed beliefs - both when it helps us and when it hinders us. I share some personal experiences where I've needed to borrow belief in myself when I didn't have it from someone else until I could find it, as well as times when I have borrowed beliefs from others that don't serve me.
