049. Are you in Your Invisible Years? Navigating Self Worth When You Feel Invisible

Are you in your invisible years? Have you heard of this term before? 

In this episode, we delve into this phenomenon I recently learned about, known as the "invisible years." Together, we uncover those hidden moments when we felt unseen, undervalued, and disconnected from our true potential. Through personal anecdotes and insights, we explore how these invisible years shape our perceptions of ourselves and hinder our growth.

I share my own moment of revelation, that I had been living in my invisible years without realizing. We navigate the emotions and doubts that arise when we feel inadequate, learning to embrace vulnerability and recognize our inherent strength.

We also address the pressing question of how to handle moments of self-doubt and overcome feelings of inadequacy. We explore the consequences of suffering in silence and how choosing to communicate can be a catalyst for growth, healing, and connection. Through heartfelt stories and actionable advice, we empower ourselves to express our needs and cultivate healthier relationships.
