All right. Hello. Welcome everybody back to the full cup. We are so glad you're here

joining us listening today. I am here with my sister, Rachel Waters. Hey, Rachel. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. Today we are going to talk a little bit about how to not keep yourself small, meaning I think that's a natural instinct for a lot of people to, you don't want to be braggy or showy.

And maybe it's not even that, but it's just a lot easier to put yourself down sometimes

for sure um we're gonna talk a little bit rachel i i told you guys last week that um her daughter

has gone through cancer and we'll that'll come up i'm sure we'll talk a little bit about that as

well but for now where do you want to start rach well i has gone through cancer and we'll that'll come up. I'm sure we'll talk a little bit about that as well.

But for now, where do you want to start, Reach? Well, I've been thinking as we talked about what we're going to record, I think I've said before. I don't know if it's the stars aligning, but

themes or trends seem to kind of move through my office at the same time as each other.

And we've talked a little bit

about this before, or maybe a lot bit about this, but just some added tools behind this idea of being

small. I think there are many people out there whose identities have been built upon the idea of

being small and somehow by keeping themselves small means that they are going

to be more worthy or more valuable. But what I am finding, and I think what they're finding,

which is why I'm finding them in my office with me, is that that does not work. It ends up being

very hurtful instead of helpful. And I've talked about some other tools previously on ways that we do that

with internal dialogue, you know, creating boundaries, alternative truths. Those are great ways to

make ourselves special, right, as special as everyone else. The goal is for us all to find our

special and be able to help others find their own and not more special than anyone else,

but definitely not less special than anyone else. And so I had some different tools that I wanted

to talk about today that I think can be really

helpful with that.
