Podcasts about Insecurity

In today's episode, I open up about the lessons, regrets, and mistakes I made in my 20s. From being lukewarm in my faith, losing my virginity, wasting money, chasing the wrong guys, desperate to be liked, and going ALL IN with Jesus. It's easy to see where I got off course now that I'm in my 30's but I WISH I knew some of the things I know now, back then. I pray this episode feels like a big sister chat and gives you some encouragement wherever you're at. God has taught me so much, and even though I made mistakes, His grace and redemption are so real.

Do you feel like you are always falling short of some invisible standard, no matter how hard you try? That sense of inadequacy can creep into your work, your relationships, and how you relate to your body, and it can quietly run your life if you never stop to question it. In this episode, I explore why insecurity is not a personality flaw or something you need to fix, but a signal that you do not feel emotionally safe with yourself. I break down how socialization trains us to measure our worth against external rules and expectations that were never designed to serve us, and why that keeps us feeling perpetually not good enough. Hit play to learn how to stop outsourcing your sense of safety and value, and how to build emotional security from the inside.

In this episode of Shed and Shine, Gino and Rob unpack a powerful new definition of “SHIT” shared by healer Gabe Roberts: Suppressed, Hidden, Influential Traumas. Together, they explore how buried emotions manifest in our bodies, relationships, and leadership, often showing up as fear, tension, and disconnection from peace.They break down each part of the acronym, revealing how unprocessed pain becomes trapped energy that shapes the way we live and lead. Gino shares how releasing these emotional blocks through awareness and presence allows our True Self to shine, while Rob offers insight into the fear that keeps us from facing what hurts.This conversation invites you to look inward, shed what no longer serves you, and rediscover the quiet strength of clarity, peace, and trust.

Welcome to Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones unpacks a moment many parents recognize but often misunderstand—when a daughter goes quiet, holds back, or struggles to find her words. Melissa explains why this behavior is less about a lack of confidence and more about underlying insecurity, and how well-meaning encouragement can sometimes feel like pressure instead of support.Through a compassionate, practical lens, Melissa shares how parents can create space for their daughters to express themselves without rushing, rescuing, or filling the silence. She introduces the idea of mapping confidence rather than measuring it, and reminds parents that confidence grows when girls feel trusted, heard, and emotionally safe. Just as importantly, she invites parents to notice and manage their own discomfort during these pauses—because calm connection is more powerful than quick reassurance.In this episode, we discuss:Why holding back is often a sign of insecurity, not defiance or disinterestHow encouragement driven by parental anxiety can unintentionally feel like pressureWhat it means to map confidence instead of measuring or testing itWhy normalizing pauses helps girls build emotional safetyHow allowing girls to speak without interruption strengthens trustThe role of parental calm in supporting emotional growthJoin Melissa for this grounding and insightful conversation that will help you support your daughter's voice—by slowing down, listening deeply, and creating the kind of space where confidence can grow naturally.Download the Quick Tips PDF of today's episode for future reference.If you know a parent who could benefit from this conversation, share this episode with them!

It's called “hygiene insecurity” and while you may not be aware of it, there is an overwhelming need for hygiene products in the state. An estimated 38% of Rhode Island families struggle to afford hygiene products, and 2 in 5 individuals struggle to purchase menstruation products. Amenity Aid, Rhode Island's only hygiene bank, would like to eliminate this problem. In this episode, the organization's Founder and Executive Director, Liz Duggan and Board Chair, James Rajotte talk about how they accomplish their mission. 

In this episode, we are diving headfirst into coping mechanisms. Aka adapted survival skills. They develop for a reason and yet we judge ourselves so harshly for using them. And while it's tempting to think that they are what keep us stuck, we'd challenge you to consider how embracing them may be the key to getting unstuck. We're also going to introduce you to our adaptive child alter-egos, Taz and Ursula. Key Topics in this episode: The "adaptive child" vs. "wise adult" framework Why coping mechanisms persist even when they're no longer helpful How shame creates loops that prevent change The role of nervous system safety in building new habits Identity shifts and the grief that comes with change Practical approaches: naming your inner child, self-compassion over self-bullying

Moses had every reason to stay comfortable: palace roots, a peaceful life in Midyan, and an age where most people stop reinventing themselves. Then a bush burned and refused to go away.In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores the moment that changes everything: not charging forward, not fixing the world, but simply turning your head. Through the burning bush, the Midrashic debate, and Moses' three objections, we uncover how purpose actually shows up, why resistance is part of the calling, and how your deepest struggles may be the doorway to your greatest contribution.This isn't about becoming someone else. It's about finally noticing what's been calling you all along.Key TakeawaysCalling begins with attention, not action. G-d speaks when we notice, not when we're ready.Purpose doesn't consume you; it sustains you. A real mission burns without burning out.You don't need five steps, sometimes a turned head is enough.Insecurity, blame, and perfectionism are spiritual disguises for fear.Your thorn bush is not your weakness, it's your credential.Redemption starts when someone says “Hineni” before knowing how it ends.#Jewish #Judaism #Torah #TorahPortion #Bible #BibleStudy #Moses #moshe #mosesleadership #BurningBush #purpose #calling #hineni #Midrash #destiny #perfectionism #insecurity #Responsibility #soulmission Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

When your mate struggles with insecurity."Jealousy [is] as cruel as the grave." SS8:6 NKJVIf you're dealing with an insecure mate, you must make every effort to be accountable.It's important to voluntarily provide adequate details. After all, he or she is looking for assurance. Learn to explain your whereabouts in a casual but thorough manner. Short, one-syllable responses will provide more insecurity and leave the person to imagine various negative scenarios. A jealous person is insecure and thus has doubts about having what it takes to maintain the relationship. Do not make the mistake of thinking or saying, "Tough-you just need to get over your insecurity." If it were that easy, your mate would have done it by now. Continue to pray for their healing from this debilitating mindset, but do your part not to exacerbate the problem with vague communication. Most of all, encourage your partner to talk about his or her fears. Listen without being critical or judgmental. Seek first to understand. Make it clear that you love your mate and have pure intentions regarding your relationship. But here is something important to keep in mind: Stay balanced in your interaction. You must also make it clear that you will not be forced into an emotional prison by having to account for every moment of the day. This too could exacerbate the jealousy and set up unrealistic expectations. Trust is a two-way street. And one way to build trust is by praying together. In prayer, we become honest and transparent, realizing that God already knows every detail about us. When your mate hears you share your heart in prayer, it relieves unfounded fears and creates security within them.When your mate struggles with insecurity Trust is a two-way street.Share This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Insecurity, toxic environments, and poor self-awareness shaped my early years. I didn't understand myself, my mission, or the people around me — and it showed in my leadership, relationships, and decisions. Meet Guest Justin Long. This video is about the hard lessons that forced me to grow: Breaking free from insecurity and toxic patterns Understanding your purpose and personal mission Learning empathy instead of reacting from ego Building stronger teams and healthier relationships Serving clients and customers with real understanding If you've ever felt lost, misunderstood, or stuck repeating the same cycles, this video is for you.

In this episode of First Round's On Me, we sit down with Jenny Gorelick — comedian, writer, and two-time Emmy-nominated producer — for a conversation that blends comedy, dating, fear, and emotional honesty in a way only a comic can.Jenny opens up about what's actually changed for women in comedy (and what hasn't), how she creates a sense of belonging in New York rooms, and why comedy is one of the hardest art forms in the world to get right. The conversation moves fluidly from stand-up and writing, to magic on stage, to pop culture, celebrity relationships, and the strange emotional logic of modern dating.We also dig deep into ghosting vs. honesty, fear of rejection, emotional intelligence, and why so many people avoid direct communication — even when they care. From “soft ghosting” debates to the truth behind “if he wanted to, he would,” this episode is sharp, funny, and uncomfortably relatable.

In this week's episode of In Totality, I'm joined once again by my girl Dinorah Peña, and we had a really great conversation about all the things!What started as a casual conversation turned to a Spirit-led dialogue on what it looks like to meditate on God's word and truly lean on the Holy Spirit, the weight of saying “yes” to God, and obedience.We talk through what it looks like to follow God even when you feel unqualified or overwhelmed. From wrestling with pride to the quiet conviction of the Holy Spirit, this conversation is not curated, it's confessed and vulnerable, and it's all about learning to trust God when the path feels uncertain and your heart feels unsure.If you've ever asked, “Am I doing enough?” or felt like your weaknesses disqualify your calling, this is for you. God's not waiting on your perfection. He's asking for your surrender.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Joseph faced a choice between protecting his reputation and obeying God's calling when an angel told him to marry pregnant Mary. His fear wasn't of the supernatural, but of what people would think. Many of us struggle with this same tension between people-pleasing and God-pleasing. We often choose safety and comfort over significance and calling because we're worried about others' opinions. However, God sees our hearts and potential differently than people do, and His perspective brings clarity when fear creates confusion. Joseph's immediate obedience changed history and made him part of the greatest story ever told. When we choose obedience over comfort, we step into legacy and eternal impact that extends far beyond our own lives.

​​Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://thriving-leader-2026.lovable.app/Instagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this powerful episode of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast, Mark Jewell sits down with Tyler Dickerhoof — dairy farmer, leadership coach, and founder of the Impact Driven Leader movement.Tyler brings raw honesty and hard-won insight to the conversation, unpacking how insecurities quietly shape the way we lead, connect, and communicate — often without us even realizing it. Drawing on decades of experience from dairy barns to boardrooms, Tyler reveals how to recognize your emotional blind spots, dismantle walls that limit growth, and lead from a place of wholeness and trust.This conversation goes beyond leadership theory — it's an unfiltered look at what happens when intensity becomes intimidation, when connection gives way to isolation, and how to reframe it all with empathy, clarity, and courage.Key Takeaways:1. Intentionality Starts with Purposeful ImpactBeing intentional isn't about perfection — it's about aligning your actions with the impact you want to create. Tyler defines it simply: “Be purposeful in action.” Every decision, word, and relationship either builds trust or breaks it.2. The Four Walls of InsecurityTyler introduces a groundbreaking framework that helps leaders identify how fear and insecurity show up in behavior. The four walls are:Intensity: When drive turns into domination.Inactivity: When fear paralyzes decision-making.Insensitivity: When protection becomes detachment.Isolation: When fear of judgment leads to hiding.Recognizing which “wall” you lean on most is the first step toward breaking through it.3. Every Problem Is a Relationship ProblemAs Mark puts it: “Every business issue traces back to a relationship issue.” Tyler expands on this, explaining that our ability to lead others directly mirrors our relationship with ourselves. Leaders who don't value or forgive themselves struggle to extend grace and connection to others.4. Empathy Without Boundaries Isn't Leadership — It's ExhaustionTyler warns that empathy, without limits, leads to burnout. True empathy requires clarity and boundaries — modeling what healthy leadership looks like instead of just preaching it.5. Intentional Leadership in the Age of OverloadFrom late-night texts to “always-on” expectations, Tyler and Mark challenge today's leaders to rethink boundaries. Intentionality means having systems and communication rhythms that protect both productivity and peace. If your team is burning out, it's not a workload issue — it's a leadership clarity issue.6. Choose to Be an Incubator, Not an IncineratorOne of Tyler's most memorable phrases: “I'd rather be an incubator than an incinerator.” Great leaders don't burn people out; they develop them. Building people means caring enough to challenge them, coach them, and let them grow — even if that means letting them go.Notable Quotes:“Be purposeful in action. Our actions create our results, and our results reinforce our beliefs.” – Tyler...

Overcoming Insecurity in Midlife with Jaemin FrazerIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviews Jaemin Frazer—Founder of The Insecurity Project, author of Unhindered, and host of the Unhindered Podcast. Jaemin shares why insecurity often peaks in midlife, how early childhood beliefs silently shape adult behavior, and what ambitious professionals can do to break free from self-doubt. His insights offer a practical and compassionate roadmap for anyone ready to confront insecurity and step into a more confident, purposeful version of themselves.How Insecurity Shapes Midlife and How to Overcome ItJaemin explains that insecurity is universal, rooted in beliefs formed before age seven, and often goes unnoticed until midlife when energy diminishes and the “push through it” strategy stops working. In this season of life, many high achievers discover that the same insecurity that once fueled their ambition is now causing anxiety, exhaustion, strained relationships, and a sense of emotional unraveling. He emphasizes that insecurity is not a flaw, but a solvable problem—one that requires awareness, objectivity, and a structured process for dismantling limiting beliefs.He describes insecurity as “rocket fuel”: powerful enough to drive early success, but ultimately toxic if relied on for too long. Through Jaemin's seven-practice framework, individuals learn to deconstruct these beliefs, examine the stories they tell themselves, and replace insecurity-driven motivation with clarity and intrinsic purpose. This transformation allows midlifers to shift from proving themselves to actually becoming themselves—living with more peace, energy, and authenticity.Jaemin also highlights the importance of vulnerability and finding the right support. Not all helpers are equipped to guide someone through insecurity, and he stresses the value of working with a coach or therapist who provides objectivity, structure, and accountability. He invites listeners to access his book Unhindered, his long-running podcast, and his one-on-one coaching programs to continue their journey toward becoming truly “unhindered.”About Jaemin FrazerJaemin Frazer is the Founder of The Insecurity Project, an internationally recognized coach, author, and speaker known for his expertise in helping high performers overcome insecurity.

In this episode Dr. Bob Martin (Pops), explains how David's Psalm 27 teaches you three steps to Kick Fear, Insecurity, and Doubt Out of Your Life Forever. This psalm is your go-to encouragement when you are afraid, feeling insecure, or impatient for God to respond to your requests.

What does cuckolding really mean—beyond the porn clichés, the insults, and the misconceptions? In this intimate and unfiltered conversation, Mr. and Mrs. Sno sit down with Hubbs and Hopeful, two hosts from the Cuck My Life Podcast, to unpack the real psychology behind cuckolding, compersion, dominance, submission, emotional vulnerability, and why so many couples misunderstand this dynamic. Together, they explore: The difference between humiliation kink and healthy cuckolding Why compersion—not degradation—is at the heart of most cuck dynamics How communication and emotional safety determine whether this lifestyle strengthens or destroys a relationship What bulls and single men get wrong (and what the good ones consistently do right) Why cock cages, denial, and power exchange can deepen intimacy rather than replace it   Plus, Mr. Sno opens up about his own evolving identity, Mrs. Sno shares how stepping into her vixen energy transformed their relationship, and the Cuck My Life hosts reveal the emotional courage required to live authentically within this kink. This episode is raw, psychological, funny, deeply honest—and a must-listen for anyone exploring hotwife play, cuckolding, stag/vixen dynamics, or the emotional side of non-monogamy.

Hip-hop culture was a dominant force during the '80s and '90s, and inspired language, fashion, film, and music. Yes, that includes plenty of alternative music. But that's not what we're talking about today. Instead, we explore the inverse - how influential was alternative music in the world of hip hop?  While perhaps not quite as pervasive, it did exist - whether it be through the use of sampling recognizable songs, a cross-pollination of styles and artists coming together, or perhaps just an overall attitude or spirit. Our Third Lad this week, Lemoyne Alexander, is a man who has bridged both the hip-hop and alternative worlds and then some.  He played in family bands throughout the ‘70s & ‘80s including the Fascination, who had some dance club hits like 1986's “Why Are You Always Complaining?” before settling in as a hip hop producer both solo and with the production team 3 Da Hard Way, working on records by the likes of Aalyiah, DMX, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, and for labels like Jive and Motown.  Lemoyne left the rap game to return to his earliest passions - the guitar and rock n' roll, releasing Solitude in 2019 and Perfect World in 2023.  2024's indie rock single “Insecurity” is an earworm that once you hear that infectious chorus, it's going to take up residence in your head for all your days.  With a new single "Claustrophobia" (which you will hear during this episode!) and LP Alone on the horizon, Lemoyne is poised to continue making his mark on alt rock. Oh, and on top of that, we've got a brand new O3L game for y'all: Off Da Chartz (aka Rap Draft), in which our contestants draft five albums that they believe will appear on Boombox's list of the Top 50 Alternative Rap Albums of all time. Plus, Uncle Gregg rants aplenty. Oh, the rants. Yo! Thanks to Laura Bissett from the MyWhy Agency for the introduction and coordination. Learn more about your ad choices.

Orthodontists pour millions into technology, systems, and clinical training. Those investments matter. But zoom out and look at which practices actually grow year over year. The differentiator is not the scanner, the wire sequence, or the aligner system. The practices that grow treat patients like people, not procedures. In a world full of convenience, automation, and self-checkout everything, genuine human experience has become the rarest competitive advantage in orthodontics. At HIP, we have seen it across hundreds of practices: when your team becomes truly patient centric, your results follow. This is not a nice-to-have. It is the engine behind case acceptance, referrals, and retention. Here is what that actually means and how you build it. The Emotional Side of Orthodontics Orthodontic treatment is not just a mechanical process. Patients carry their smile into every room they walk into for the rest of their lives. Confidence. Insecurity. Pride. Avoidance. Whether someone feels free or guarded, their orthodontic journey shapes all of that. Forget the emotional stakes and you lose the patient. Every interaction with your practice either reinforces their confidence or feeds their fear. In today’s world, where everything is automated and transactional, that emotional experience matters more than ever. Patients expect clinical excellence. They remember how your team made them feel. That feeling brings them back and keeps them talking about you. Technology Does Not Differentiate You. Experience Does. A lot of practices believe their growth will come from their scanner, their bracket system, their aligner protocols, their dashboard, their workflow. Technology matters. It supports efficiency. It shortens treatment times. It allows for predictable outcomes. But patients cannot tell you the difference between wire systems. They have no idea what your software does. They can tell you if your front desk greeted them warmly. They can tell you if your space felt clean and inviting. They can tell you if they felt remembered or forgotten. The truth is simple: technology creates capability, patient experience creates loyalty. Free Growth Session First Impressions — The Moment That Sets the Tone For Everything Before a patient ever sees a TC, an assistant, or the doctor, they are already forming their opinion. They are evaluating whether they feel safe. They are reading whether your team is present or overwhelmed. They are noticing whether they are interrupting you or welcomed. A great first impression includes clear signage and easy navigation so patients know where to go, a clean and bright environment that signals professionalism without feeling sterile, a genuine greeting that acknowledges them immediately, and eye contact plus warmth so they feel seen instead of processed. If this first moment goes sideways, you have already lost ground. If it goes well, everything else becomes easier. The TC Room — Where Trust Is Formed Or Lost The treatment coordinator room is the most pivotal space in the practice. It is where excitement becomes commitment or where uncertainty grows into hesitation. Practices that win in this room keep the handoff tight, smooth, and confident. They remove the left-alone-in-silence moments that create anxiety. They treat the patient as the hero of the story, not the object of a procedure. They engage on a human level before diving into clinical detail. When patients feel known instead of managed, they say yes more often and they stay excited throughout treatment. Free Growth Session Mid-Treatment Visits — The Overlooked Opportunity This is where many practices unintentionally lose the patient experience altogether. Routine appointments easily slide into autopilot. The assistant has done this exact wire change ten times today. The patient knows the drill. Everyone falls into the rhythm. That is the danger. A patient who feels invisible mid-treatment becomes disengaged. They stop wearing rubber bands. They lose excitement. They feel like a number. The practices that maintain loyalty during routine visits do one thing consistently: they never stop seeing the patient. That means personalized notes that allow any assistant to pick up the conversation, asking about the football game or the prom or the test or the birthday or the struggle, staying energetic even in routine appointments, and celebrating small steps toward the end result. Efficiency does not cost empathy. Efficiency creates space for empathy. Retention — The Most Undervalued Stage Of The Entire Journey Many offices treat retention like the checkout lane. Here are your retainers, congrats, call us if something breaks. Retention is where practices lose referrals and where they could be gaining them. Retention works best when the team celebrates the finish line with real enthusiasm, when debond day is treated like a milestone worth cheering for, when the patient leaves feeling proud of what they accomplished, when the team makes the experience fun and memorable and personal, and when you reinforce why wearing retainers matters without guilt or shame. When the final memory is a great one, patients become raving fans. And when they inevitably need retreatment years down the road, they come back to the place that made them feel cared for, not the cheapest or closest option. Free Growth Session Why This Matters — The Human Challenge Your team is human. They get tired. They get overwhelmed. They deal with difficult patients. They have personal stress. When they are stretched thin, the first thing to disappear is the patient experience. That is why the culture has to carry the weight, not individual moods. A consistent patient experience comes from clear standards, strong systems, personal accountability, team cohesion, morning huddles that reinforce connection, and leadership that models presence and empathy. This is not about perfection. It is about direction. A one percent improvement every day builds a culture that becomes unstoppable. The Practices That Win Care The Most At HIP, we say it often: you do not build a great practice by focusing on teeth. You build it by focusing on people. Clinically excellent orthodontists are everywhere. Patient-centric teams are rare. The practices that become market leaders are not the ones with the newest tech or the flashiest marketing. They are the ones patients talk about long after the appointment is over because the experience made them feel something real. If you want to grow, improve your systems, and elevate your team, start with the one thing your competitors cannot copy: the way you make people feel when they walk through your door. Do that consistently and your practice becomes unforgettable. Free Growth Session The post Why Patient Experience TRUMPS Technology in Orthodontics appeared first on HIP Creative.

Most people confuse their fear voice with their intuition, and it quietly shapes their decisions, relationships, and opportunities. In this episode, I break down the real difference between insecurity and intuition from a spiritual perspective — and why telling them apart is the key to making better choices.You'll learn how insecurity shows up as warnings, disclaimers, and “play-it-safe” thinking that comes from old experiences and stored embarrassment. You'll also learn why intuition never sounds like that. Intuition is directional. It nudges, guides, and points you toward your potential, not away from danger.I'll also walk you through the simplest test for knowing which voice you're hearing, and why following your intuition tends to lead to growth, expansion, and a deeper sense of aliveness — even when it stretches you.If you've ever wondered whether you're holding yourself back or genuinely being guided, this episode will give you clarity you can use immediately. And by the end, you'll have a much better sense of which inner voice to trust and how to follow it more consistently.Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!

Newt talks with Andrew Biggs, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, about the perceived retirement crisis in the United States, arguing that the U.S. retirement system is performing well compared to other developed countries. He highlights that the typical U.S. senior is among the wealthiest globally. Biggs, who has worked on Social Security reform for over 20 years, notes that while surveys indicate a widespread belief in a retirement crisis, actual retirees report financial stability, with only 4% describing their situation as a crisis. Biggs advocates for a reevaluation of Social Security, proposing a shift from focusing solely on solvency to considering structural reforms that better align with current economic realities. He warns that without reform, the Social Security Trust Fund is projected to run out by 2032, necessitating either significant tax increases or benefit cuts. He suggests that a special commission could facilitate necessary reforms, as the regular political process may be inadequate to address the issue effectively.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
