I used to believe that if I wasn’t perfect, people would leave me. We all tell ourselves a limiting lie. A story that plays on repeat in the back of our minds. “If only I was–fill in the blank–prettier, smarter, curvier, skinner, bolder, quieter…I would be loved”. All these limiting lies are based on the biggest lie of all: that in order to be loved, we need to be someone other than who we are right now. The morning of SheFi Summit, I paced around my AirBnB in Buenos Aires trying to memorize my opening speech, Summer screaming while Jon changed her diaper. "Just wing it," Jon offered. "Not helpful," I snapped. Summer fussed in the car. I ran through my opening lines again. Jon–bless him–didn't try to fix my nerves. He handed me water. He showed up. As soon as I walked into the venue, my shoulders fell. I relaxed. Ela and Naomi bustled around the greenhouse where our sponsors Octant, Avalanche, and Celo had set up their displays. The next minute, they sorted out the breakfast. Thank you.
