Description

Ever notice how a simple “You look beautiful” can make us freeze, squirm, or instantly downplay it? You’re not alone, friend. In this episode, I’m digging into why so many women struggle to receive compliments — and what that says about our self-worth, conditioning, and the “good girl” programming we’ve all been fed.


We’ll talk about:

✨ Why women deflect praise even when we crave validation

✨ How modesty culture and people-pleasing got tangled with our identity

✨ The hidden shame and insecurity behind “oh, it’s nothing”

✨ How to practice actually receiving love, truth, and compliments

✨ A simple mindset shift to start letting goodness in


Because here’s the truth: rejecting compliments doesn’t make you humble — it keeps you small. It’s time to stop deflecting and start receiving.
