97: How to Choose Yourself First in Love, Life, and Career

Choose To Become With Lindsey Cacy

In this episode of Choose to Become, Lindsey breaks down why waiting to be picked is a trap—and how reclaiming your power starts with strengthening your self-concept. If you've ever lost yourself trying to be chosen (by a partner, a job, a room), this is your reminder: you're not here to audition. You're here to own your worth. We unpack Pick Me energy, how it shows up in relationships and career, and why being celebrated (not just tolerated) requires a deeper belief in your enoughness. This one’s part pep talk, part personal growth blueprint—and a full permission slip to choose yourself boldly, unapologetically, and without waiting for anyone else to cosign it.
