What She Said?!

You can’t do that. Maybe you aren’t enough. Why did they hire you? You know you don’t have the experience to lead this team. Why do you think he left? Why do you think they all left? It must be you. Sounds like some pretty negative things for someone to say to you. But what if that someone is you?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve definitely got a mean girl in my head. She tells me that I am not enough for whatever it is I am trying to do. Whether I am mothering my children, loving my husband, creating a program, launching a business, applying for a job, or making a new friend, she is there telling me it won’t work because there is a deficiency in me.

My daughter Miah and I talk about this in this episode, What She Said?! The Mean Girl in Your Head. I wanted to talk with someone from a generation behind mine so that we could examine whether the mean girl shows up differently for different generations.
