In this episode, I talk about the role of reflection in the accountability code, sharing a personal story from my book, Doubt Yourself No More. I reflect on trying out for cheerleading in high school, initially to prove a point, but later realizing how reflection evolves when you take action. I explain that reflection is about thinking through your goals, values, and challenges, and as you act on them, your reflection changes, helping you grow and build confidence.
