917 | Stop Telling People Your Dreams: 9 Reasons It’s Holding You Back
In this episode, Rachel Hollis emphasizes the importance of safeguarding early dreams from external criticism and skepticism. She highlights how initial dreams are fragile and can be easily crushed by doubts, even those from well-meaning loved ones. Rachel outlines nine reasons to keep your goals private initially, including avoiding the influence of worriers, the dilution of your vision when translating it for others, and protecting yourself from others' projections of their limitations.
