Dr. Kelly Brogan

That little girl who said like, hey, do you like what I made? It's like my fingers were wet from the paint still. And I went through a whole phase. And that's not to diminish it to suggest that like, oh, it was just a phase. It was a literal maturational process that I moved through where I exposed this aspect of myself and I was...

So in that sort of like witch burning experience that I had, it went on for, I don't know, six, nine months. I was able to, you know, it was a fork in the road. Right. So I have, I have a big mouth. I know how to use it, especially when I feel affronted. Right. And that's how I survived a lot of my upbringing. And so I could have. you know, gone to bat, right?

And I could have really showcased my skills and made sure I got my audience to see how wrong these people were for judging me, blah, blah, blah, whatever. So the defending posture, I could have adopted that. And for whatever reason, instead, I decided to make a spiritual practice of this. And every single time I came across a comment in real life or on social media, so the anonymous,

condemning voice, I would try it on. And ultimately I called this simple practice wearing the villain crown, where I would just make a very short practice, like literally would take minutes. This isn't like some elaborate thing. And I would try on the possibility that I am what it is that I'm being accused of. being. And so it was just kind of a way to take the piss out of it, right?
