This week's mantra is I Embrace the Courage to Be Disliked. People-pleasing can feel safe—but it often comes at the cost of your authenticity. In this episode of Mantra, we explore what it means to stand firm in your truth, set boundaries without apology, and let go of the need for universal approval. Being disliked doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong—it often means you’re doing something real. This Mantra will empower you to live more boldly, speak more freely, and honor the version of yourself that doesn’t need to shrink to fit in.
