  • Summary

  • Ever feel like no matter how much you try to explain yourself, people still don’t “get” you? Like you have to justify your choices, prove your worth, or tone yourself down just to keep the peace?

    Here’s the truth: Being misunderstood is part of the path to growth. And the more you evolve, the more you’ll trigger people who aren’t ready for the version of you that no longer fits their expectations.

    In this episode, we’re diving into:
    ✔️ Why your brain fears rejection (the neuroscience of why we crave validation)
    ✔️ How childhood conditioning plays a role in the need to be understood
    ✔️ A real-life example of how Einstein was misunderstood—and why it didn’t matter
    ✔️ The spiritual side of why being misunderstood means you’re on the right path
    ✔️ How to stop explaining yourself and fully embody your truth

    🚀 If you’ve ever held yourself back out of fear of judgment, this episode will set you free.
