Think about it…

  1. In what ways have I internalised beliefs about needing to appear “perfect” or “professional” at work?
  2. How has self-stigma shaped my willingness (or unwillingness) to share my struggles with others?

Self stigma is real! We must overcome our own negative thoughts and strive to reframe our minds to a more positive note. Our minds are our greatest asset!
