Meeting the Self You've Been Avoiding in the Mirror with Victor Dedaj
Description
Beneath the roles you play is a self that doesn't need to be impressive or useful, one that's been quietly waiting for you to stop performing long enough to meet it.
Coach and author Victor Dedaj shares why we avoid our own reflection, how people-pleasing and limiting beliefs keep us small, and the gentle practice of becoming honest with yourself again.
