I Allowed To Like Myself Exactly As I Am?

Coach Tyler and Dr. Lisa Folden explore what it really means to love yourself just as you are. This episode dives into the tension between striving for growth and accepting yourself in the present moment. They unpack how honesty and kindness must go hand in hand, why chasing perfection or external validation only fuels burnout, and how true self-worth comes from being rather than doing. Through reflections on shadow work, expectations, and the myths of self-criticism as motivation, they highlight how embracing all parts of ourselves opens the door to deeper compassion, presence, and joy. At its core, this conversation reminds listeners that you are enough today, even while working toward becoming more.
