What if I told you that caring what people think has nothing to do with insecurity

and everything to do with your identity?

I used to be trapped by the fear of what other people thought about me.

After making these five mindset shifts,

I was able to actually detach from their opinions and live my life exactly how I wanted to.

Even now, as the face of a multimillion dollar company where I get on constantly.

And guess what?

I don't give a , it's fine.

So if you want to understand how to emotionally detach and stop needing external validation from others,

this video is for you.

Number one is ignore applause.

Just because people praise you doesn't mean you're on the right path.

Applause is not a North Star.

Praise or applause, they are reflections of other people's preferences, not your purpose.

If it's not aligned with your values,

it's a distraction, not direction to go in.

And I think that oftentimes,

especially now, there's no separation between the real world and social media.

And because of that, it's like praise and applause have actually become one of the easiest addictions to justify,

especially when you're building something,

whether you're building yourself, a business,

a relationship and people start to notice.

So for example, I make content, right?

It was about a year and a half ago.

My team said, hey, we want you to make a video on branding.

And I remember I made the video and the whole time I just felt like this like visceral,

like bad feeling in my gut.

And I got done and I said,

I just don't think this is for me.

I just don't like love it.

I don't feel like I'm an expert on it.

It's not something I really want to talk about.

And so I decided, I was like, I'm not going to.

And if I ever want to talk about it again in the future,

I allow myself to do so.

But just because other people want me to,

they like what I have to say,

and they like the video and hit the thumbs up button,

doesn't mean I need to keep doing it.

So what you want to recognize is that people are applauding you

because you are acting in a way that they prefer you act.

So once I realized that people are just applauding me because of themselves,

it doesn't mean that I should keep doing the thing.

It's that they like when I talk about that thing.

It doesn't mean I like when I talk about that thing.

It doesn't mean that I should live my life that way,

because maybe I don't like doing the thing that they applauded me for.

Maybe I'm just over it.

Maybe I liked it for a minute and now I want to change.

And so somebody liking what you said,

what you wore and posted on social media,

how you run your business,

how you speak, what you cook for dinner,

that's their preference and their interpretation of the situation, not yours.

So the question that you want to ask yourself is,

is the thing that they're approving of aligned with my values and what I want to do?

And if it is amazing, that's great.

You've hit the trifecta.

It's like people like it, you like, great.

But if not, then you need to realize that applause is not objective confirmation that you're on the right track in life.

And I know it sounds obvious when I say it,

but we do not treat it that way.

People like our posts, we say,

oh, I'll just make only posts like that.

I'll forget all the other stuff I like.

People like something we do in a relationship,

we do more of that even though we don't even like it.

And so ultimately, preferences, especially other people's,

they're based on emotions, not on values.

Values are based on principles.

And so if you're constantly chasing other people's preferences,

you're actually feeding in more to what other people think of you and becoming a person

that exists to please them, not yourself.

And that happens to us in life all the freaking time.

People want us to do things,

act in a certain way,

dress a certain way, look a certain way,

do certain things because they like it,

not because we like it.

And not even because they value it,

but because they like it.

So it's based on their emotions,

which are fleeting, not even on their values.

This happens in relationships all the time too.

You might do something once for your partner.

Maybe you cook them dinner,

and maybe you don't like cooking, right?

I like cooking, but maybe you don't like cooking,

and you cook dinner for them once,

They're like, oh my gosh,

I would love it if you did this every night.

You're like, you know what?

I'm gonna cook them dinner every night because they like it.

And then what happens over time,

what you start to notice is like,

you feel less and less like yourself,

you feel less and less empowered,

and you feel more and more resentful.

Because what happens when you start to abide by other people's preferences is you eventually build up resentment to those people,

100

whether they know it or not,

101

and whether you know it or not.

102

The second thing is that we have to reframe criticism.

103

Most criticism stems from someone else's discomfort.

104

Okay, get this.

105

People judge what challenges their worldview and their reaction is more about them regulating

106

or not regulating their own emotions than about who you are or what you do.

107

I really want you guys to just listen to what I'm saying here.

108

Criticism reveals way more about them than about you.

109

So I'll give you an example.

110

I was on social media and somebody sent me a post of some woman dismantling me, right?

111

And and essentially saying that she thinks

112

that the way I do business is far too masculine

113

and she believes that I would succeed more if I did it in a different way.

114

And so I'm watching this and I'm watching this post that she made about me and I'm consuming it.

115

And then you know what I think to myself?

116

I'm gonna be honest, in the first moment I'm like,

117

I'm gonna just go ham on this and light her up.

118

I can say so many things.

119

Of course my mind goes there for five seconds,

120

but then my mind goes to, oh, she feels uncomfortable.

121

Why does she feel uncomfortable?

122

She feels uncomfortable because I'm succeeding in a way that she would prefer I don't.

123

She would prefer that I act more like her

124

and I do things her way to become successful rather than do things my way and act like me to become successful.

125

And so because she doesn't know how to deal with that discomfort,

126

she has to make a post about me.

127

And I realized I had an urge to criticize her

128

because I don't like the fact that somebody who dismantles and talks about other people can still succeed.

129

She was still successful.

130

That made me uncomfortable.

131

And so I wanted to say something about it.

132

And then I realized, I was like,

133

oh yeah, I have this core belief and this very large preference

134

that I would prefer people who are mean to other people do not succeed.

135

And I've been that way my entire life.

136

I remember before I got into business,

137

I thought to myself, mean people don't succeed, right?

138

Bad people don't make money.

139

And then I realized I was very wrong.

140

But as you can see,

141

it's just two people who are feeling uncomfortable at the other person's way of living their life.

142

So hear me out.

143

Criticism, it can sting, it can suck, it can feel terrible.

144

Even more than praise feels good for the most part.

145

But what is criticism really?

146

Criticism is often when something about you,

147

something you did, makes somebody else uncomfortable.

148

They don't know how to manage that discomfort.

149

They outsource their discomfort.

150

They blame you, they label you,

151

they diminish you, they demean you, they judge you.

152

Judgment is another word for unmanaged discomfort.

153

So really think about this.

154

We all judge people.

155

By the way, I judge people too, for sure.

156

Of course I judge people.

157

But what you wanna ask yourself is,

158

when somebody else criticizes you,

159

What belief does their criticism contradict about what you believe to be true in this world?

160

And then when they're criticizing you,

161

you ask yourself, what did I do to make them so uncomfortable?

162

And if you break it down like that,

163

it helps so much

164

because you see it objectively rather than subjectively just taking the hit of whatever emotional blow they're trying to put your way.

165

And that fundamentally changed everything for me.

166

Once I understood that I do something, it makes somebody uncomfortable.

167

When they're uncomfortable and they have low emotional regulation skills.

168

They criticize me, they make fun of me,

169

they demean me, they diminish me.

170

Number three is that you will always be judged.

171

Whether you seek applause or avoid criticism,

172

you will be judged and you will be misunderstood.

173

Here's the reality, you will be judged no matter what.

174

So when I first started making content,

175

I remember thinking, if I do my best and I structure everything out and I do it like X,

176

Y, and Z, nobody will say anything mean, right?

177

People aren't gonna criticize me and I'm gonna feel really good about everything I'm putting out.

178

And instead, the opposite happened.

179

For the first 18 months of putting out content,

180

I just got on left and right.

181

I remember even my husband looking at me and he was like,

182

damn, you've got it rough.

183

And I was like, why, what am I doing?

184

And it was like, the things that people were pointing out were things I would have never expected.

185

It was like your voice,

186

you sound like Ben Shapiro or steroids or you smoke or what's going on?

187

Where's that coming from, right?

188

Maybe you're asking that.

189

The second is that people were like,

190

oh, Layla, but your husband,

191

this rich, famous man, you're just riding his coattails.

192

Who are you?

193

Where did you come from, peasant?

194

And then the last one was just discrediting everything all together and saying I'm some internet guru.

195

When in fact, I'd been running a company for eight years.

196

It's funny because all these things happened.

197

And I remember thinking the entire time,

198

like, why is this happening to me?

199

Like what do I do with this?

200

And it wasn't until I realized is

201

that the more I don't seek to ask for permission as to what content I post,

202

what I talk about, how I act,

203

how I dress, how I talk,

204

how I run my company,

205

how I run my marriage,

206

how I run my life, the happier I am.

207

So for 18 months I tried to figure out what do I do to make these people shut the up.

208

How do I have to talk?

209

How do I have to dress?

210

What kind of content do I have to make?

211

And And eventually, I remember there was one day where I realized nothing about the situation needed to change.

212

Everything about my perspective about it did.

213

And I just need to accept that the price of fame,

214

the price of enjoyment, the price of success is being criticized.

215

It is just the downside of the upside.

216

And so what I've realized now is that the more that I do things the way I want to,

217

the more criticism I get and the happier I get.

218

What I learned through that whole process is that applause doesn't mean you're right.

219

doesn't mean you're wrong.

220

Ultimately, the only judgment that matters is yours,

221

measured against whatever it is that you've chosen to stand for.

222

Number four is you wanna choose your values.

223

Okay, true clarity comes from intentionally deciding what you stand for.

224

Values aren't put upon you, they're chosen by you.

225

So I'll give you guys an example.

226

I, when I started making content,

227

and even to this day,

228

I have this guy who is a relentless hater of me online.

229

And it's one thing if you're a relentless hater,

230

but he actually has a following and he's quite known in the space.

231

But he just left and right would just take shots at me.

232

I have never once responded to the guy.

233

I've never talked to him.

234

I pretend I don't even know who he is.

235

But every time I read his comments,

236

it's like completely trying to dismantle me as a person.

237

And what I realized over time is that when I zoomed out,

238

I was like, he's not wrong.

239

I'm not wrong.

240

We have different values.

241

What he values, right, is he thinks that I work too hard.

242

I don't have a good relationship.

243

I don't take care of myself.

244

And what I could do is I could just provide proof of all those things, right?

245

That's what a lot of people do is they say,

246

let me show you, I actually do all these things you're saying,

247

or I could say, understood.

248

So you have different values than me.

249

You don't value working long hours.

250

You don't value resilience.

251

You don't value the discipline the same way I do.

252

That's okay, right?

253

And for him, he has a business that makes a small amount of money,

254

but he gets to live his life however he wants.

255

And so when I look at him and I feel icky,

256

it's because I feel like I don't support your values where you won't sacrifice for the greater good, right?

257

I don't respect that.

258

I don't value that, right?

259

That's not one of my values.

260

And so it actually just came down to,

261

we have completely different values in life.

262

I value working hard, sacrificing to do good for a greater group of people.

263

He values health, relationships, connection,

264

and not sacrificing as much.

265

Both work and both are okay.

266

And in that moment, it was probably just a sign

267

that maybe he wasn't aware of that and he wasn't able to regulate his own emotions.

268

Because in those moments when he said,

269

hey, you know, you're too intense.

270

This is too much sacrifice.

271

You're too hard charging.

272

You're not feminine enough.

273

Those weren't value statements.

274

Those are preferences that he has, right?

275

And so he's basically saying,

276

I don't know how to handle the fact that I am not comfortable with her intensity,

277

her discipline, her competitiveness.

278

And so I'm going to take my discomfort and put it on you because it doesn't align with my values.

279

I don't understand.

280

As I'm reading what this guy's writing about me,

281

I don't need to ignore all of it.

282

I also don't need to consider all of it,

283

but I do want to filter through my values.

284

I think that's the most important distinction because when I was reading what he was saying,

285

I was like, there's some points here.

286

The question is, is it aligned with my values?

287

Now, if somebody were to come to me and they were to criticize me for something that is a value of mine,

288

like they were to say like,

289

you're not honest, that would hurt.

290

I'd be like, was I not honest in that moment?

291

Because honesty is like my number one value.

292

That would feel terrible.

293

But if they're gonna come to me and be like,

294

you're not soft enough and you don't spend enough time doing fun hobbies,

295

I'd be like, yes, no, I don't.

296

You are correct, sir, right? it, let's move on.

297

Number five is that your values are a filter.

298

So when you receive praise or you receive criticism,

299

Don't ask yourself, oh, do they like it?

300

Are people gonna like this?

301

Instead ask, is this aligned with the values that I stand for?

302

And that is the question that will set you free and make all this worth it.

303

You use your values as a filter for every reaction.

304

I'll give you an example.

305

I made a video a couple months ago and it was a skit and I thought it was gonna be fun.

306

I thought it would be fun to try some skits for content

307

and I really liked the idea and so I did a skit.

308

I thought it was funny and it got like,

309

I don't know, 20 million views or something.

310

And I had a couple of people come to me and they were like,

311

hey, so I don't know about these skits.

312

And I was like, what about the skits?

313

And they were like, well,

314

you don't want to become famous for like these skits.

315

And I was like, why?

316

And they were like, well,

317

it just seems too silly.

318

It's like not your brand.

319

And I was like, I actually think it's exactly my brand.

320

Like I am very intense and also I can be very funny.

321

What the ?

322

Then I put it through my filter.

323

I said, well, what's my number one value, right?

324

If I'm using my values as a filter, honesty.

325

I honestly thought it was a hilarious video.

326

I honestly act like that many times and I honestly enjoyed making it.

327

And so I felt like it was actually a better representation of me to start doing things like that,

328

to lean into the things I like,

329

than it would to not do it.

330

And so I ask myself that a lot when people bring to me their opinions, their preferences.

331

I just filter them through my values, right?

332

It's one of the first things that I do when I'm thinking about where do I spend my time?

333

How do I spend my life?

334

I say, am I doing this or do I want to do this

335

because it aligns with my values or because it avoids judgment from somebody?

336

In the past, I did not have good answers to that question because I didn't even know my values.

337

And the second thing is that I realized that I did a lot of things just to avoid that judgment,

338

like that person bringing up that video.

339

I did things because of that,

340

not because of my values.

341

And so what I live by now is this,

342

values are not feelings, values are decisions.

343

You don't find them out of nowhere under a rock and you don't feel them,

344

you don't feel them.

345

You pick them intentionally.

346

And I think it's hard because a lot of people inherit their values from maybe,

347

maybe it's your parents, maybe it's religion,

348

maybe it's Instagram or TikTok,

349

I don't know, but then they're like,

350

why does this feel terrible and off track and like,

351

I don't like my life.

352

And it's because they didn't consciously choose their values.

353

But when you consciously choose your values and you act in alignment with them,

354

your life gets so much simpler.

355

Now, I wouldn't say it gets easier because I think sometimes it gets harder,

356

but it does get simpler.

357

Now, why does it get simpler?

358

One, you stop chasing applause.

359

You are not looking to get applause from other people.

360

You are looking to live your life in alignment with those values.

361

So at the end of the day,

362

every day, you feel good about yourself when you're laying in bed.

363

The second thing is that you stop running from criticism.

364

You recognize that part of the equation is a trade-off.

365

When you have really strong values,

366

you will likely be strongly criticized.

367

And you actually understand that sometimes being criticized is a good thing because it means that you're living your life so potently,

368

living out your values, that people that don't with your values

369

and don't align with your values and don't have the same words are gonna run the opposite direction,

370

scream from the hills how crazy you are.

371

And then you just get to do what's aligned with your values and you.

372

You get to do the stuff that makes you happy.

373

You get to do the stuff that lets you live your life in a way that feels good to you.

374

And that's aligned with the decisions that you want to make to be the person you want to be.

375

At the end of the day,

376

you get to choose your values.

377

And because of those values,

378

you can use those as a filter to criticism.

379

And I think that that's where real confidence and freedom comes from.

380

Because a lot of people ask me,

381

how do I get over criticism?

382

How do I deal with all these people judging me?

383

And the truth is, you don't.

384

It happens.

385

You just anchor so deeply in your values that it makes all the criticism worth it.

386

And so the reality is this,

387

if you don't anchor your identity somewhere solid,

388

somewhere that cannot be defeated by what people say about you,

389

whether it's good or bad,

390

you will just drift into becoming a reflection of the preferences and desires of other people. And honestly,

391

I don't think there is any worse place to be than one where you are literally a ghost of yourself

392

that exists because of what other people want out of you.

393

So if you define your values,

394

you ignore everything else, you can be the person you want to be.
