Do I value others opinions of me greater than my own?

Welcome to SEASON 2!
So proud, honoured and excited that we are at episode 50!
What a journey it has been, grateful for every listener, grateful for the opportunity to speak about deep things with more and more ease, finding comfort in vulnerability and the availability to learn going further into the mind. 
This episode we question how much should we really pay attention to others opinions of us; Do we neglect it fully and rely on ourselves? Or is it necessary to listen to loved ones around us?
