“If you, too, grew up with anxiety messages, realize that you couldn’t ward them off. Your filters weren’t strong enough yet. But now you can.”

“Here are some antidotes, new self-talk from Big Girl you to Little Kid you: • What do you think, honey? • Go for it, babe! [Note: How else could I have written this book?] • Strut your stuff a little. It’s OK. • Of course you can! • You’ll always find a way. • You are so smart and creative! • How do you feel, and what do you need right now? • Does this really fit for you? • Remember, honey, “No thanks” is a complete sentence. • You deserve better than that. I’m not suggesting that you become an insufferable narcissist, thinking no one else is important. But I do urge you to take care of yourself—your needs, self-esteem, and self-respect. Otherwise you’ll look to others to fill in your blanks, which keeps you a dependent diaper-wearer.”
