Consciously and unconsciously you start to turn yourself down and created a story whereby in order for you to excel, you needed to tone your authentic self-down and sometime even remove your true self from the equation. And that became your life, until you discovered, \u201cThat shit don\u2019t float, and it sure the heck doesn\u2019t make you a happy person.\r\nFellow coach, mischief maker, and the one person I enjoy a good \u201csnort\u201d with \u2013 and we\u2019re not talking about putting stuff up our noses \u2013 Raechel Anderson Dressler, joins me today to teach us how to come out of our closets of \u201ccheck-minusing ourselves out of the equation.
