In this powerful and inspiring episode of Courage to Heal, I sit down with Molly Booker—author, speaker, and advocate for authenticity. Molly shares her transformative journey of coming out in her 40s, overcoming perfectionism, and rediscovering her true self. Together, we explore the deep connections between self-worth, identity, and the courage it takes to step into your most authentic life.
Discover how perfectionism often stems from a fear of not being good enough, how to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion, and why embracing the messiness of life is the key to connection and healing. Molly offers powerful advice for those struggling with their identity and the importance of accepting and loving one's true self.
