Episode 3541:

You don’t have to be perfect to be worthy. Heather Avery shares her journey from self-doubt and external validation to self-acceptance, highlighting how yoga, self-love, and a shift in perspective transformed her life. True beauty and happiness come from within, and by letting go of unrealistic ideals, we can embrace the fact that we are already enough.

Quotes to ponder:

“You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.”

“I am not my weight, or my jean size, or even my yoga practice. I am enough. I am me.”

“We have been brainwashed to strive for perfection. All this striving makes us miserable.”
