Does the validation of others define your value? You cannot escape your human nature of desire, but in this episode of Transcendent Leadership, I show you how to find a balance between your desires and heart-centered leadership. 

Go beyond duality to discover the true nature of reality because nothing is entirely good or bad. I share my journey of healing my wounds around self-love and people-pleasing. In the public eye, these characteristics manifest into a need to be liked, get likes, and prevent you from creating from your heart. 

Today I encourage you to question your motivations, and get to the core of why you do what you do, post what you post, and believe what you believe. You do not need to be liked by everyone because everyone is on their unique timeline for transformation. If you allow outside opinions to change how you express yourself, you deny the collective consciousness of knowledge that could impact the minds and hearts of this generation. 

This episode will shift your mindset and help you get clarity on the impact you want to have on this world. Truth is powerful, and it will set you free. 

If you feel trapped by your ambition and want to recenter your creativity, join me to learn how to free yourself from vanity metrics and discover just how powerful your voice is.

Memorable Quotes

“They don’t want to talk about the fact that they still feel this subtle fear, but it was manifesting through vanity metrics. How many likes do I have? How many followers do I have? How big is my email list? How much money is in the bank? Always quantifying my value based on something outside of me.”  [12:27] -Carissa Johnsen

“When I think about the impact that I desire to make, which still gets to exist. I don’t want to get rid of: ok we don’t want to desire any of these things, that’s bypassing our human nature, this part of me that wants to be of service, that wants wealth this gets to exist here simultaneously, but the other side of the coin is not letting it be the driving force.”  [16:07] -Carissa Johnsen
