Have you ever wondered if pride is a sin or a virtue?

As a Life and Neuroscience Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Rapid Transformation Therapist, Lynda shares her personal journey with pride and how it has impacted her life.
She explains that pride can push us to achieve great things, like celebrating a child's first bike ride or feeling joy over a garden's bloom. However, she also warns of pride's darker side, which can lead to narcissism and hinder our relationships by preventing us from admitting mistakes or asking for help. Lynda distinguishes between authentic pride, which stems from genuine accomplishments, and hubristic pride, which is rooted in arrogance and ego.
By examining these two types of pride, she encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider where pride may be holding them back. This episode is a deep dive into understanding how pride influences our behaviour and relationships, offering valuable insights for anyone looking to lead a more authentic and fulfilling life.
