Why i stopped seeking mentors as a grown woman

In this episode i shared how trusting mentors messed with me. While having a mentor is fantastic, falling into the hand of a bad one will greatly slow you down and potentially short-circuit your destiny.

I hear so many people push the narrative of mentorship and how everyone needs a mentor to succeed in life. That hasn't been my own personal experience as the mentors i've had in the past have rather hindered my growth and success.

Choosing a mentor is one you must do very carefully so that you don't fall for the wrong person. Also, instead of waiting to be chosen by a mentor, you can choose to allow life and your past failures/experiences mentor you.

Being in a community of like minded individuals can also be a source of mentorship for you, cos you learn from each other. Listening to growth channels on YouTube or podcasts can also be a useful resource for you.

One of the downfalls of having an insecure person as a mentor is that they kept you down so you don't outgrow them, they keep you needing their validation and permission to soar, they keep you second guessing your decisions. The effect of having a bad mentor can be life altering so it's important you take choosing a mentor (if you absolutely need one) seriously.
