Episode 3465:

Krista O'Reilly-Davi-Digui's reflections explore the exhausting cycle of struggling to prove one's worth and offer a gentle invitation to embrace self-compassion and contentment. Her perspective encourages a life lived in alignment with values rather than relentless striving, fostering a deeper sense of peace and purpose.

Quotes to ponder:

"Could we live gently with ourselves, pursuing a life we don’t need to escape from?"

"We don’t have to prove we’re good enough; we already are."

"Maybe the striving and hustling aren't what we truly need."
