Death by a thousand cuts [DEEP DIVE]

How She Really Does It with Koren Motekaitis | Death by a thousand cuts [DEEP DIVE]

One of my favorite sayings in recent months is ‘death by a thousand cuts.’ It’s the concept of small cuts building up over time that can lead to the death of our souls. How we talk to ourselves can be a cut, and life is hard enough without cutting ourselves.

How often do you show up and apologize for how you look before there is even a connection with the other person? How often do you highlight what you perceive to be your flaws to others? These are the cuts I’m talking about, and these cuts are so detrimental to our wellbeing.

When we are critical about how we look, our own intelligence, or anything else about ourselves, we are cutting ourselves. These small cuts over time lead to us losing hope and possibility, and we become apathetic. Is this really how you want to live your one precious life?

This week I invite you to own all of your story and love all parts of yourself. Give yourself the permission to not be perfect. Understand how these cuts are affecting you and recognize that it’s time to start thriving and enjoying your one precious life from a place of wholeheartedness.  

In this episode, I’m sharing how cultural programming and patriarchy have left us believing that we are supposed to always be perfect and put together, and why we don’t have to be perfect to be worthy. Letting go of perfection and fully showing up as yourself is empowering, so I’m showing you how to stop looking for your faults and instead look at the beauty you have inside of yourself.
