How To Live a Sovereign Life

The You-est You® Podcast

As Maya Angelou said, The wisest thing you can do is to be on your own side.

While studies show that 95% of us are self critical (which leads to anxiety and stress), we can learn to recondition ourselves to be on our own side by being self-loving and own our power.

In today’s interview with Dr. Emma Seppälä, best-selling author of Sovereign, we dove into HOW you can learn to recondition your mind and body to live a fully sovereign life.

Dr. Emma Seppälä is the best-selling author of Sovereign: ​​Reclaim Your Freedom, Energy, and Power in a Time of Distraction, Uncertainty, and Chaos, and The Happiness Track, keynote speaker, and professor at the Yale School of Management.

Key Takeaways

🧠 Self-criticism is self-loathing, affecting 90-95% of people psychologically.

🌿 Adopting a Sovereign lifestyle involves questioning destructive behaviors and beliefs to truly live to your fullest potential.

🌱 Self-awareness, not self-criticism, is crucial for self-improvement and success.

💪 Practicing self-care and self-love is a radical and powerful act, essential for resilience and leadership.

💡 Feeling emotions fully and authentically can lead to healing and personal transformation.
