In this episode, we explore the concept of mirrors—physical, social, and psychological—and how they shape our self-perception. From self-imposed distortions to impostor syndrome, we discuss ways to improve self-esteem, embrace learning, and shift our perspective. With practical strategies to remove unhelpful “mirrors,” we highlight how others' views can positively impact us.
