Anytime I would tell myself the thing I wanted to emulate or be, I could audible hear the negative self talk refute everything I said.

On this episode I talk about why I gave up using affirmations and how it completely changed the way I view the world.  Instagram: @sharissabradley Book: https://www.sharissabradley.com/book
