Facing Yourself and Your Own Bullsh*t: The Path to True Growth

Writer: Leigh MarieLeigh Marie

Let’s be honest with ourselves… self-awareness is uncomfortable! Looking in the mirror and seeing past the version of yourself that you show to the world is tough. We all have blind spots, ego traps and deeply ingrained patterns that hold us back.


What lies do we tell ourselves?

We all have stories we cling to… excuses, justifications, and narratives that make us feel better about where we are. Maybe you tell yourself you “don’t have time” to pursue your dreams or that “other people have it easier.”

These stories are comfortable however, they are also chains keeping you stuck.


The real question is: Are you willing to see through your own BS?


Facing yourself means acknowledging:

👉 The ways you may self-sabotage

👉 The limiting beliefs you have adopted as truth

👉 The habits that are not serving you

👉 The patterns that keep repeating in your life because you refuse to change


It’s not about judgment, it’s about being totally honest with yourself. The moment you stop being in the victim blaming others, external circumstances or “bad luck” is the moment you start to reclaim your power back.

Awareness is the key 🔑 to opening the lock of chains you bind yourself with!


🪞 Sit with the discomfort: When you feel resistance, lean in to it. That discomfort is your greatest teacher.

🪞 Question Your Patterns: If the same problems keep showing up in your life then it’s time to ask… What role am I playing in this?

🪞 Drop the Excuses:  Be brutally honest about what is in your control. Spoiler alert: It is definitely more than you think.

🪞 Embrace Accountability: Find people who will call you out with love and challenge you to grow.

🪞 Commit to Change: Awareness is the first step. Acceptance is the next step. Finally action to change.

Decide what needs to shift and start making moves!


When you face yourself, you stop being a victim of your own unconscious patterns. You reclaim your choices, your energy and your life. Growth is not easy but staying stuck is far worse.


Freedom is the reward


The only thing standing between you and your next level is your willingness to look in the mirror and own what you see.
