Have you ever looked at a repeat situation and thought to yourself, “Maybe I am the common denominator here?” This episode walks you through how to handle that feeling. Caitlin talks about the importance of self-awareness, when she realized it was time to do a real audit of her life, lessons she has learned in her professional and personal life by becoming more self-aware, and even divulges the things about herself that need the most work. Self-awareness helps your skills in conflict, but also in seeking confidence. What do you like about yourself that you are already doing? What do you not like that you can change? Being sure in the person that you are will help you navigate life’s most exciting, uncomfortable, and importantsituations. And it will also help you determine who in your life should stay and who you are not willing to change for. Looking in the mirror does expose our flaws, but in this case, knowledge is power. Hope you enjoy!
