216: Don’t Make a Weakness Your Entire Personality

August 21, 2024

Charlotte has been thriving at the Eras Tour, Helli has been surviving in the last couple of weeks of wedding prep – but we move! This week we’ve got an amazing app recommendation and a super helpful recommendation for finding your style.


Today we’re discussing making a weakness your whole personality – inspired by a conversation on Shameless about people who make being late their whole personality, we’re chatting about how doing this might feel easier to own it, but doing this doesn’t remove accountability and does it even benefit you? We’ve told ourselves that we’re bad at maths, Charlotte says she’s bad at parking, Helli says she has a weak upper body and is a stubborn person. Are these things actually true? Do they help you to keep sharing them with people or is it giving people a negative preconception of you? Are you perpetuating an insecurity cycle of negative self-talk?
