What does it really mean to be a good person, and how do we know if we are one? A simple quote, “You’re a good person,” sent me on an unexpected journey of self-reflection. After years of looking to others for approval and trying to figure out who I was, I decided it was time to take a closer look at myself through my own eyes. What I discovered was a person with more kindness, creativity, humor, and resilience than I had given myself credit for.

In this episode, I share what I've learned about finding my identity, owning the qualities I value, and giving myself permission to appreciate the person I've become. I'm still a work in progress, complete with a little snark, a few wrong turns, and plenty of opportunities to laugh at myself. But perhaps being a good person isn't about getting everything right. It's about recognizing who we are, noticing where we can grow, and giving ourselves credit for the effort along the way.
