The PowerHouse Collective interview with Dara Beevas – “Book Doula”, co-founder and chief strategic officer of Wise Ink Creative Publishing (see her full bio below). We talk about how comparing ourselves to others is a great way to kill confidence – especially if your gold standard happens to be Beyonce – and how being clear on vision and purpose builds it.
What are your thoughts? Do you define success and confidence on your own terms? Or do you sometimes get caught up in comparison, perfection or negative self-talk? Leave a comment below!
