Have You Forgotten Who You Are?

When was the last time you stopped to recognize something you're genuinely proud of? We spend so much time thinking about what we haven't accomplished, the mistakes we've made, and the things we still need to improve. But how often do we acknowledge the courage, resilience, and strengths we've already demonstrated? In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie DeLucca-Collins shares a powerful exercise from the recent Recalibrate Retreat called the Finest and Best List. This simple reflection invites you to remember moments when you showed up as your best self, especially during challenging times. If you've been feeling disconnected from yourself, questioning your abilities, or waiting until you feel more confident to take your next step, this episode will help you recognize the strengths you already have. What You'll Hear Why it's easier to remember our mistakes than our proudest moments. How years of responsibilities can disconnect us from our strengths. What your past experiences reveal about your ability to handle challenges. How the Finest and Best List exercise can help rebuild self-trust. Why remembering your past courage can help you take your next step. Your Brave Move of the Day Write down three moments in your life when you were proud of how you showed up. For each moment, identify the quality you demonstrated. Was it courage, compassion, persistence, honesty, or creativity? Then ask yourself: Where could I use that quality in my life right now? You may discover that the confidence you've been searching for is already part of your story.
