Podcasts about low self esteem

Is your chronic pain real — even when every test comes back normal? The answer is yes. And the science of neuroplastic symptoms is finally explaining why. In this episode of Inner Voice – A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan, Dr. Foojan Zeine sits down with Dr. David Clarke, MD — President of the Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (ATNS), board-certified gastroenterologist and internal medicine physician, and author of They Can't Find Anything Wrong: 7 Keys to Understanding, Treating, and Healing Stress Illness. If you've spent months going from doctor to doctor, run every test, and been told “everything looks normal” — this conversation is for you. Dr. Clarke and Dr. Foojan explore the powerful connection between childhood trauma, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), chronic stress, and the very real brain-generated physical symptoms that affect an estimated 40% of all medical patients. This is not “it's all in your head.” This is neuroscience.

In this lecture, we explore the beautiful name of Allah, Al-Aziz, and learn how true honor, dignity and strength come from Allah alone, enabling believers to build self-esteem with humility while avoiding pride and arrogance.

Anger, sexual immorality and low self-esteem are three of the most stubborn sins known to humanity. We know we should eliminate them from our lives, but the question is - HOW?   LIVING IN THE GOOD THINGS OF GOD Well, welcome to this third week in this series called "Eliminating Stubborn Sin – Once and For All". Over the last few weeks on the programme we have seen that God truly does want us to overcome stubborn sin in our lives – that God gives us the power to deal with every sin and whatever temptation comes our way. He gives us the way out – a way of dealing with it. Actually there are very few things that God says "Don't do!" and the only things to which He says "Don't do!" are the things, if we are honest with ourselves, the things that are going to hurt us. And today we are going to look at anger, sexual immorality and low self esteem because they are way out there. But when it comes to dealing with these stubborn sins, the issue is not so much that we should get rid of them – we kind of know that – the question is how? So let's kick off today with anger because anger is actually a big issue in this world today – it seems we're all so busy doing all the things we have to do – racing around, taking the kids to school, getting off to work and at work these days the pressure is really on. Make more, achieve more, deliver more – it used to be in the 'good old days' the pace was much slower. You had to wait for the mail to arrive and when you sent a letter out, it took a couple of days to get it all correct through the typing pool. But these days, even when people are on holidays with their families, they're answering emails on their mobile phones. We're so connected, so in demand, so busy – it's almost like we're like battery hens – the slightest thing makes us snap. Some people have more of a problem with anger than others. The more achievement oriented and outcome focused a personality we have, the more we are going to be prone to anger. And that was my 'biggie' when I became a Christian – anger. Nothing was ever good enough or fast enough for me and as I look at that, the whole "anger" thing was based on a self-centeredness and a sense of self importance. The world was there to serve ME and to fit in with MY plans and if you didn't play the game by MY rules and deliver what I wanted – well, watch out! It's a way of living and thinking and behaving that robs us of relationships and tenderness and joy. It's actually awful! But how can we change that? Well, here's how! Psalm 145, verse 8, says this: The Lord is gracious and merciful and show to anger and abounding in steadfast love. What that's saying is that God's grace and His mercy and His steadfast love make Him slow to get angry. God does get angry sometimes and that's a fearsome thing but not at the drop of a hat. He doesn't have a temper that's on a hair trigger. Why? "Because He's abounding in steadfast love." In other words, He's more focused on loving us for who we are than what we do or don't do. Imagine if this awesome and mighty God became angry with you and I every time we didn't fit in with His plans – we wouldn't last very long, would we? For me, learning to break the pattern of angry behaviour began with loving the people I was dealing with; valuing them for who they were; understanding their hurts and their inadequacies. The things that had happened to them in their lives that made them behave the way they did. And the more I did that, the less angry I started to feel. In fact, what I began to do was prepare myself for people. As I said, I am one of these outcome focused people who moves quickly, sets goals, achieves them. And it's easy when you're like that just to roll over the top of people. And then ... then I have to work with someone who just wants to have fun! You know the sort of people? They just want to enjoy the moment and I just want to get things done. But without them to help me enjoy the moment, well, I'd miss out. So I started to prepare myself – "I have to work with him today! Right! Okay! I understand him. He's not going to be like me today and that's okay", almost forgiving them, if you like, before they walked into the room. It took me a while to figure it out but that's what God is like. That's what that verse from that Psalm is all about. Psalm 145, verse 8: The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. And actually that "slow to anger" thing has a lot to be said for it. Here are a couple of verses from Proverbs that really helped me. Proverbs chapter 12, verse 16: Fools show their anger at once but the prudent ignore an insult. In other words, the moment that someone says something that triggers anger in me, well, I've learned to let it pass me by, more often than not, these days. No, I don't have to win every time anymore. I don't have to have the last say; I don't have to be right all the time. "Only fools show their anger at once, the prudent ignore an insult." And this verse – Proverbs chapter 15, verse 1: A soft answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger. This was like being a shock absorber. When someone does something to stir up anger and dissent, how wonderful it is to respond with gentleness and wisdom, calming the situation instead of throwing fuel on the fire with a harsh word. Ignore the insult and respond with a gentle, soft answer. Can I tell you, once I decided to start loving the people around me, these two things took a bit of practice but after a while they became a habit, because they're a much, much better way of living? These days I have much more peace in my heart; much more joy in my life. Instead of always having MY day ruined by other people's failure to fit in with my plans, I've discovered the joy of fitting in with their plans sometimes too. And the biggest thing ... the biggest thing with letting the anger go is that it set me free to enjoy the beauty and the creativity and the incredible specialness of each person I come in contact with. It's like a whole new world has opened up. Do I still get angry sometimes? Course I do, so do you! It's what I do with that anger when it happens that makes all the difference. This anger thing was a stubborn sin in my life. It was one that looked like it would never go away but when I took those few simple Scriptures we just talked about and started applying them to my life, God did the rest. He set me free from a sin that would have ruined the rest of my life. Next we are going to look at another one of those stubborn sins – sexual immorality.   STARTING EVERY DAY WITH JESUS Earlier we looked at overcoming anger and right now we are going to move on to sexual immorality because it's one of the most stubborn sins of all. It seems these days that it doesn't matter how hard we try, sexuality is constantly thrust before our eyes and under our noses. Now, don't get me wrong, I have a very simple view about sex. God invented it: it's good, it's great. But the role of our sexuality - apart from the obvious thing of keeping the human race going by bringing babies into the world – is to bring a husband and a wife into a level of intimacy so wonderful that there aren't enough words to describe how good that is. But because sex sells, it's used in the media to such an extent, you can't walk down the street without the image of a scantily clad woman advertising some product on a billboard shoved in your face. Now, God's Word is pretty clear on sex and here it is in a nut shell. Human sexuality is a part of His design for humanity and as such, physical intimacy is a beautiful gift from Him but the only proper expression of that gift is exclusively between one man and one woman who have been joined together as husband and wife in the life-long bond of marriage. And people who continue in sexual immorality outside that – whatever form that takes – will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God. They are not my ideas. That is clearly, clearly what God says through what I believe to be His Word – the Bible. Now, I think that one of the biggest issues today is pornography. So many men are caught up in sexual immorality – they're married, they want to be faithful to their wives but with the internet being available 24/7, the temptation is simply too great. And so they are caught up in the cycle of addiction and shame that spirals ever downward. It actually robs them of the intimacy that God had planned for them. It substitutes a poor impostor for the real thing. And because they are carrying the burden of hidden shame around in their hearts, it robs them of the power that God has for their lives – the power to make a difference for God in this world. That's why this particular stubborn sin is so insidious. Here are some sobering statistics: over 50% of all men are addicted to pornography; over 82% percent of males between fifteen and twenty-eight have intentionally or deliberately sought out pornography in the last three months. A man whose campaign to help men addicted to pornography, Pastor Steve Davies, puts it this way – he says: "We're at war and pornography is Satan's number one weapon against men to destroy their walk with Christ." So how do we overcome this most stubborn of sins? If you are a man addicted to this cycle of pornography, how can you overcome it? If you are a woman who's living through the pain of her husband's addiction to pornography, how can you be part of overcoming it? They're tough issues and perhaps the odd person is squirming right now and maybe you're tempted to turn the radio off but God's Word speaks into every situation ... every situation and this sin is no different. For the man who is caught up in this most stubborn of sins, the first thing he needs to know and understand is this: that Jesus came to set you free from every sin ... every sin, and this sin is no different. Colossians chapter 1, verses 13 to 14, says this: He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. So, anyone who has put their faith in Jesus has been rescued from the power of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. And this Scripture too – Romans chapter 6, verse 14: For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under the law but under grace. So, here's the very first thing – this man caught up in pornography is entitled to believe that something has happened – sin no longer has dominion over him and whilst it might take a little while to overcome this addiction, the power of sin is broken because God applied His grace to you in that situation. This has already been dealt with on the cross of Christ; once and for all, the power of sin has been broken. So instead of approaching this addiction with faith in failure, you can approach it knowing that the deal is already done. Success is guaranteed and every time the devil whispers doubt into your heart, you can stand on God's Word. The second thing is getting really practical about what you look at and where your mind wanders. Proverbs chapter 5 is a powerful part of God's Word for anyone caught in the cycle of pornography. In particular, verse 8 says this about seduction: Keep you way far from her and do not go near the door of her house. It's so easy in a world saturated with sexuality, to let one image; one unintended and unfortunate encounter, act as a trigger for this addiction. Keep away; in other words, don't put yourself in places where you are going to be trapped and when the temptation does come your way, "don't go near to the door of her house". In other words, guard your eyes, guard your mind, guard your heart – stay away and don't go there. Any man knows that there is a line he can step over, allowing his mind to wander into places where it should never go. And that wandering ultimately conceives sin. Thirdly, you men who are married flee ... flee into the arms of your wife. She is the real thing; she is God's perfect provision for you. And as I said earlier on the programme, God's plan for exclusive intimacy between one man and one woman who are yoked together for life, through thick and thin, is so utterly wonderful. It can never be replaced by this impostor called pornography. This may surprise you – if you have never read it before, but the Bible – First Corinthians chapter 7, verses 1 to 5 - tells husbands and wives to be intimate with one another. Go on, read it for yourself – it's all there – it's God's plan. Finally, you men who are addicted to pornography, let me say this – and this is going to be perhaps the hardest thing of all – you need to be accountable; to your wife if you are married and to other men. It's time for us to go beyond the shame and look for solutions. God's plan is to set men free from this addiction. It is the most stubborn of sins because it's hidden. Bring it out into the open and as much pain as it may cause in a marriage, that's the place where healing can begin. And if you are a wife, hurt you may be by this infidelity and adultery – because that's what it is - here's my counsel to you: forgive your husband and be part of the solution. Love him, hold him, and the Lord your God will use you as His instrument to heal this man whom He has entrusted to you. Love does hurt sometimes and this is one of those times, but the prize ... the prize is worth it, isn't it?   BE ON YOUR GUARD Now, finally on the programme today we will look at low self esteem. Low self esteem is a rampant disease in our society, particularly let me say, amongst women. And while the Bible has lots to say about pride, it appears to be almost silent on this thing that nowadays we refer to as 'low self esteem'. So what it is? Well, put simply, it's an unhelpfully low sense of self worth. "Aw, I'm no good, I can't do anything, I'm useless, I'm stupid, I'm worthless ... " all those statements are thoughts that constantly ... constantly plague people with low self esteem. And the impact of them is that the people who suffer from this unhelpfully low sense of self worth, struggle to have any meaningful relationships. They don't have any joy; they don't have any peace in their lives; they are touchy; their feelings are easily hurt – and it's like a prison, this low self esteem thing - for many it seems like a life-long sentence. Now, we would all agree that anyone who suffers from low self esteem is missing out on a full and healthy life. They are in a sense, missing the point of life, at least the point that God meant for them, which is a full and abundant and rich life. And if that's the case, then there is only one name for low self esteem: it's "sin". Now I don't mean to make things worse but "sin" as it is defined in the New Testament, literally means, "to miss the mark", or as we might say today, "to miss the whole point of life", and wandering around with this incredibly low sense of self worth, misses the whole point, doesn't it? We all know people with low self esteem – we know how debilitating it is – we can see how it robs them of rich and meaningful relationships. But how many of us would have thought of it as "sin"? Well, let's call it for what it is and there's a good reason for that, because whilst "sin" is all too common, it is not normal. Jesus came to set us free from sin and its effects. Not just that we might have forgiveness for sins past but that we would be free from them today and for all eternity. The problem with people who have low self esteem is that they don't, for one minute, imagine that their lives could be any different. They don't for a single minute believe that Jesus came to set them free from the pain and the anguish of their low self esteem. But what if ... what if He came to do exactly that? Would you want to be part of it? Maybe that's for you; maybe that's for someone who's close to you, well, I come to you today with some good news. It's great news! Jesus came to set us free from sin; every sin, including this sin – stubborn though it may be; persistent though it may be. As much as someone who suffers from low self esteem imagines they will never be free of it, Jesus came to set them free!! Here's how I know: without a shadow of a doubt, this is true. At the beginning of His public ministry, Jesus stood up in the synagogue to tell people about Himself and He chose to quote from the Old Testament prophet, Isaiah, using chapter 61. Let me read to you the opening few verses of Isaiah 61: The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. Tell me ... tell me that those who are suffering from this debilitating sin of low self esteem, tell me they are not included in that – gladness instead of mourning, God's favour, comfort for all who mourn, binding up the broken hearted, liberty for the captives, release for the prisoners. The key ... the key to being free from low self esteem is simply to know this: that you and I, we are fearfully and wonderfully made – Psalm 139, verse 14 – handcrafted by God in His own image. See, most of us have spent so long, so very long staring at our reflections in this distorted mirror of the world that we've developed a distorted image of ourselves. We look at people who are more successful, more beautiful, more intelligent, more anything else you would care to name, more than us. We watch the ads on TV full of beautiful people, telling us we could be like them and no wonder people have low self esteem! But what if we are indeed fearfully and wonderfully handcrafted by God Himself, made in His image? What if when He looks at us His great and mighty heart aches for us? And here's a question ... this is THE question: what are we going to believe, the world's distortion or God's truth? Well, what are you going to believe? The problem is that someone with low self esteem may well be able to get a glimpse of that but the feelings of complete inadequacy crash over them day by day by day, minute by minute, swamping any budding confidence that they might have developed in God's truth. That's why, if you are someone who is struggling with low self esteem; if this is a stubborn sin that you just can't overcome in your life, I want to give you something today that I believe ... in fact, that I KNOW God will use it to heal you from the sin and its devastating effects. It's a short, simple passage of Scripture that even I can memorise. Here it is: Ephesians chapter 2, verse 10: For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works that God prepared beforehand for us to do. If you're someone who's struggled all your life with low self esteem, I believe God is going to use His Word to help you overcome it, once and for all because every time your distorted image is reflected back at you, through the lives and the deceptions of this world, you can take this Scripture; this verse – say it to yourself, choose to believe God over the world - every time your feelings are hurt, every time you feel that gut wrenching pain of rejection and fear and anguish, take this verse, listen to God and believe Him instead of the world. Listen to God, memorise this Scripture! It's something you can do in just about ten minutes or so – own it, let God's Word do its work in you and I know that you will be set free from stubborn sin ... this stubborn sin of low self esteem. I know that anyone caught up in low self esteem believes that it's a life sentence – my friend, it is not! Jesus came, He died for you, He rose again for you. Our value is in what God says and not in what the world says. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do the good works that God prepared beforehand for us to do. My friend, that is the truth!!

If you struggle with low self-esteem, self-doubt, or feeling not good enough, ands it impacts your anxiety and wellbeing - you're in the right place. Honestly, a lot of people look confident and happy on the outside but privately feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxious attachment, perfectionism, and self-criticism.In this episode, I (Psychotherapist and Self-Esteem Specialist, Carly Ann) open up a deeper conversation about what low self-esteem really is and why it can continue showing up even when you are doing the inner work. - we look at what keeps it going.Low self-worth often isn't just about confidence. It can be connected to deeper beliefs we carry about ourselves and the subtle patterns that keep those beliefs alive in everyday life, I will explain more in this episode.If certain situations trigger intense self-doubt, you jump to the worst conclusions about yourself, or things just feel so difficult, I think this could really help you today.I work with thoughtful, capable people who often appear confident externally but internally struggle with rumination, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and feeling like they are never quite good enough.This episode is for anyone beginning to question their relationship with themselves and wanting to understand low self-esteem and self-worth on a deeper level.If you are learning to reparent yourself, build self-acceptance, and develop a kinder inner voice - welcome to the community.

In this episode of Unf*ck Your Relationships, I'm breaking down 11 ways low self-esteem quietly sabotages intimacy. It doesn't just look like insecurity, it hides behind being chill, low-maintenance, and “the bigger person.” If you're smart, self-aware, and still stuck in the same patterns, this one will be a mirror.We're talking about conflict avoidance, over-giving, suppressing needs, reassurance-seeking, jealousy, withdrawing, and staying too long in unhealthy dynamics. Low self-esteem doesn't just affect how you feel about yourself, it shapes how you show up in love. If you listen and think, “F*ck… this is me,” take that as information, not shame. Nothing is wrong with you, but your self-concept may be running the show and until that changes, your relationships won't.

A conversation with Damian Andrews of SHAIR.Care Podcast (Australia) in 2023.“Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest or them all”? How do you answer that question for you? Learn to love self, before you can love others.I use that thing called EMDR to work on the distorted image of self. What is this thing called EMDR? It is Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing. What a mouth full!I can talk about it til the cows come home, but you will still have frowns on your eyebrows. Watch a few of the video clips: https://youtu.be/9uE04Blfd-Q?si=MrNZZmCAgmTmOUo7  EMDR (Prince Harry) experiencehttps://youtu.be/M2ra8p4MSOkhttps://youtu.be/bIJZQAr9nQohttps://youtu.be/HNdMHuwvF_Mhttps://youtu.be/xZVw-9ThmSMStop accepting the crumbs off the table. The brain's dialogue with you can go like this: “It's better to have someone, than no one; but people are not safe. Keep them at arms-length and be ready to retreat quickly, if you get a whiff or hint that they are unhappy and may finish with you. It is best to torpedo the relationship; jettison it and protect your heart from further pain, before they do it to you. So, throw in a hand grenade (effectively, to create conflict so as to force the other person to have to leave and finish with you); and then the ‘fait accompli' kicks in, where – ‘I knew they would finish with me at some point'. (When in fact that was not necessarily what they were planning); more important that you do it to them, before they do it to you, because it hurts less, done that way and you are then in more control of the pain, than if it is done to you and you were caught off guard (again). “Do onto others, before they do it to you” – is being played out repeatedly.

Let me know your thoughts about the podcast. Thank you for listening!A tap on the shoulder at the Kotel. Two deer in an empty cemetery at dawn. Those moments of impossible timing launch a candid, practical journey into self-esteem, why it slips, and how to bring light back when life feels dim. We connect the sacred and the everyday, then get specific about what low self-worth looks like when it shows up in real life.We unpack 14 common patterns: imposter syndrome that lingers long after the first week on the job, avoiding social scenes out of fear rather than temperament, and relationships that wobble when we ask partners to fill holes we haven't faced. We draw a hard line between healthy thrills and not caring if you live, explore hypersensitivity and modest presence, and dismantle the myth that you must be the best to be worthy. You'll hear how people-pleasing masquerades as kindness, how perfectionism quietly becomes procrastination, and why your health can mirror your emotions.There's a relationship toolkit here too. The “sunscreen love” idea sticks: compliments protect, criticism burns. We show how fishing for compliments keeps you stuck in outside approval, while specific, sincere praise regenerates trust. We talk fake confidence, practical “rejection therapy,” and the daily skill of resilience—especially in marriage—where acceptance beats control. We challenge snap judgments (the “stuck up” label often hides shyness) and call out gossip as feathers scattered on the wind. We also examine attention economics in modern media and the lure of looks-based fixes when insecurity drives the choice.If you've felt the sting of comparison or the silence of feeling not enough, this conversation offers a map back to steady ground: add light, guard your attention, replace criticism with earned praise, and practice resilience until confidence becomes your default. If this resonated, follow the show, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with the one insight you'll act on this week.

When you become aware of whether your self-esteem is strong, shaky, or inconsistent, you can start to understand why you react the way you do - why certain situations trigger you, why you feel anxious or stuck, or why certain patterns keep repeating - we need that if we want to change and strengthen self esteemI am Carly Ann, and I'm on a mission to bring the wisdom of therapy beyond the couch — helping people grow, connect, and thrive in life and love.

If you think you're a loser and a failure, then you're going to behave in ways that confirm these beliefs. We all have beliefs about our inherent worth and what we deserve, and when life starts getting too good, we'll self-sabotage to bring ourselves back down. In this episode, I'll explain the self-worth ceiling and where this comes from so you can get some insight on your own motivations behind your behavior.

Welcome to the latest episode of Being a Parent is Hard! In “Cultivating Self-Esteem in Our Kids: Recipes to Combat Low Self-Esteem", we focus on why self-esteem is at the core our emotional universe and some of the difficulties we see when kids struggle with low self-esteem.  We offer strategies and insights as to what truly cultivates self-esteem in children and teens and what simply allays a parent's concern about enhancing their child's self-image.  For example, focusing on attractiveness, thinness, and performance are rarely direct routes to helping a child build a stronger, more secure and positive sense of themselves.  Please join us for a deep dive into the topic of self-esteem and how we as parents, teachers, coaches, and members of a community can influence a child's self-esteem.Contact us at: beingaparentishardpodcast@gmail.com

This week's episode is going to feel like magic. ✨ I had the honor of sitting down with Denise Linn, the legendary teacher, author, and intuitive whose wisdom has touched millions around the world (she's even been on Oprah back in the day). Denise shares her extraordinary journey—from a near-death experience that opened her to the unseen world, to discovering how the universe speaks to us through signs, synchronicities, and nature. We also did a live oracle card reading for the end of this year and 2026 that gave me full-body chills. We used her deck, The Sacred Traveler, one of my faves. It's a MUST LISTENl!

Season 9, Episode 24 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast is as real as it gets. For his first in-person episode of the season, Izzy Baker sits down with Paul Sweatpants, a Las Vegas-based vlogger and Air Force veteran who's built a name for himself through storytelling, self-awareness, and sharp wit. What starts as a lighthearted chat about self-image and hygiene routines quickly unpacks a much deeper question: How did you raise your self-esteem? IIzzy opens up about his personal transformation, from being overlooked in his early years to walking into rooms and turning heads. Paul shares how a single YouTube comment about his lack of structure shifted the entire trajectory of his content and his confidence. Together, they discuss how small changes, better hygiene, real accountability, and facing uncomfortable truths can snowball into major life shifts. The episode digs into how men often confuse ego with self-esteem, how hypersexuality sometimes masks deeper emotional wounds, and how military life impacted Paul's mental health.The two also tackle how social media pressures men to perform rather than heal, and how real brotherhood, not surface-level friendship, plays a critical role in building healthy self-worth. As the episode closes, Izzy and Paul get candid about the pain of childhood gaslighting, the struggle to express emotion, and the importance of creating a life that reflects who you really are — not who you were told to be. This one isn't just a conversation about confidence it's a blueprint for rebuilding yourself from the inside out. Tune in if you've ever struggled with self-worth, are learning to take feedback without folding, or are just trying to feel like somebody again. Listen. Reflect. And don't be afraid to join the conversation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

Tired of being stuck but not sure why nothing changes? This episode dives into the uncomfortable truth: you can't transform your life while protecting the patterns that sabotage it. We explore the psychology behind avoidance, excuse-making, and self-sabotage — and why radical accountability is the missing link between knowing what to do and actually doing it. You'll learn: *Why excuses feel safer than change (brain + behavior science) *How emotional discomfort drives rationalization  *The real cost of protecting your limitations  *How to spot when “self-compassion” has turned into self-sabotage *Proven strategies to shift from passive insight to lasting action.

Is it a compliment to be called ‘nice'? Singer Louise Redknapp isn't so sure. She's always been the good girl, but she's ready to embrace – and express – different facets of her character now. In this chat with Fearne, Louise explains that being in a 90s girlband, and being married to a sports star, forced her to be shiny and polished at all times.

Fearne and Louise chat about how never knowing her dad, and becoming a mother herself, have impacted her confidence and identity.
