#715: What If You Saw Yourself the Way Other People See You?

#715: What If You Saw Yourself the Way Other People See You?

Author: Trish Blackwell August 4, 2026 Duration: 33:43

What if the person you're the most wrong about... is you?

Most of us spend our lives looking at ourselves through a lens of criticism. We notice every flaw, replay every mistake, and dismiss every compliment. Meanwhile, the people around us see something completely different—they see your kindness, your strength, your beauty, your resilience, and the impact you make without even realizing it.

So why is there such a gap?

 

In this episode, we're talking about the biased narrator inside your mind—the inner voice that remembers your failures more vividly than your victories and convinces you that its version of the story is the truth.

You'll learn:

  • Why you're often the least objective person when it comes to judging yourself
  • How self-criticism distorts your self-image
  • Why it's so hard to believe compliments—and what to do instead
  • How to challenge the biased narrator in your head
  • Why building others up might be one of the most powerful ways to change the way you see yourself

If you've ever looked in the mirror and only seen what needs fixing, or wondered why everyone else seems to see something in you that you can't, this episode is for you.

Because confidence isn't pretending you're perfect.

It's finally seeing yourself a little more honestly—and maybe even a little more like the people who love you already do.
