Why are we often more supportive of others than we are of ourselves? In this episode of Motivational Monday, we explore why setbacks, rejection and fear of failure can make us lose confidence and give up on our goals. The conversation looks at the importance of recognizing small progress, separating our mistakes from our identity and learning to speak to ourselves with the same kindness we offer the people we love. This Monday, the message is simple: a setback does not define you, and it’s never too late to try again. Sometimes, the person we need to encourage most is ourselves.
