Shownotes

We say "I'm fine" on autopilot, even when we're not. Master coach Alicia Dupree wants us to catch ourselves right there.

Alicia joins host Shreya to explore why self-reflection isn't about hunting for flaws, why growth rarely moves in a straight line, and how three simple questions can stop a negative thought spiral.

About the Guest:

Alicia Dupree is a Master Certified Professional Coach and founder of The Busy Woman's Blueprint. She works with women one-on-one and in workshops on self-reflection, self-worth, and consistency, and recently published a book by the same name.

Key Takeaways:

  • Self-reflection isn't about listing your flaws, it's about noticing what you couldn't see before.
  • Saying "I'm fine" is often a way of lying to yourself as much as to others.
  • Growth rarely moves in a straight line, what matters is how fast you reset after a setback.
  • When a negative thought spirals, ask if it's true, if it's helpful, and if it's kind.
  • Stepping outside yourself and asking what you'd tell a friend can interrupt harsh self-talk.
