Uncover Your Eyes with Dr. Meenal Episode #47: Eyes On - Own Your Strengths: Normalize Unapologetic Confidence, Boost Wellbeing & Show Up Boldly!
Why do we downplay our strengths but magnify our weaknesses? It’s time to shift the narrative! In this episode, we’re diving into why owning our skills, talents, and accomplishments isn’t bragging—it’s necessary. Hear about the flight attendant who caught Dr. Meenal’s attention, why self-praise is often seen as unusual & uncomfortable, what research shows about confidence & mental health, and how Dr. Meenal shifted how she talks with her son about his strengths - and what happened next. Let’s break the silence and start celebrating ourselves the way we should! Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:
- The flight attendant story
- Why don’t we talk about our strengths?
- What does the research say about strengths?
- How does Dr. Meenal talk to her son about his strengths?
- What happens to our mental health if we don’t talk about our strengths?
