After building a career on portraying other people, Washington is ready to be the lead of her own life.
To do this, she’s putting in the work. Part of that involves finding ways to move beyond negative thoughts, which, for Washington, often come up in two ways: “One is lack of faith that everything’s good. This idea that I have to do better or be better to be lovable or acceptable, as opposed to trusting that my best is enough. And then I have a history of healing around body image and perfectionism.
Her ability to weather less-than-positive self-talk relies on practices like “prayer, meditation, therapy, journaling, or spending time with other people in growth situations—doing the work,” she says. “I have to be doing that work. As an executive, entrepreneur, parent, wife, for me to show up in those places requires that I’m willing to constantly be doing self-inventory and face my stuff. If I’m in a place of faith, self-love, and radical acceptance, shit doesn’t bother me.
