Podcasts about overcoming self doubt

 What if the most important business strategy you could invest in — was learning to truly value yourself first?In this deeply inspiring episode of The True You Podcast, host Paula Burns sits down with Lynette A. Joseph — Self-Mastery Mentor, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of F.L.Y. (First Love Yourself with Lynette) — for a conversation that sits right at the intersection of personal transformation and purposeful business building.Lynette's message is both beautifully simple and profoundly powerful: before you can show up confidently in your business, attract high-value collaborations, and position yourself as the go-to expert in your industry — you have to do the inner work first. You have to learn to love yourself, know your worth, and uncover the Unique Core Value that only you bring to the world.This is not abstract advice. Lynette has lived it. Having navigated her own journey through self-doubt, low self-worth, and personal challenges, she rebuilt her relationship with herself from the inside out — and now she dedicates her work to helping other entrepreneurs and purpose-driven women do exactly the same.Through F.L.Y., Lynette helps her clients uncover their Unique Core Value, step into their authentic power, and confidently position themselves as the go-to expert in their industry — attracting high-value collaboration partnerships that align with who they truly are and what they are truly here to do.In this episode, we explore:— How Lynette overcame self-doubt and low self-worth to build a business and movement rooted in authentic value — and what she wants every woman struggling with the same thing to know— What your Unique Core Value is, how to uncover it, and why knowing it changes everything about how you show up, communicate, and attract opportunities— How to confidently position yourself as the go-to expert in your industry when you still have moments of doubting whether you are enough— The F.L.Y. philosophy — First Love Yourself — and why self-love is not a soft concept but a bold, strategic foundation for a life and business built on purpose— What it truly means to create a life and business aligned with who you are — and why that alignment is the difference between struggling and thrivingWhether you are an entrepreneur feeling undervalued and unseen, a purpose-driven woman who knows she has more to give, or someone who simply needs reminding that loving yourself first is not selfish — it is essential — this episode is for you.Connect with Lynette:Step Into Your HIGH VALUE SELF in Just 5 MINUTES https://bit.ly/3HRr0QV Join the Community Connect with like-minded entrepreneurs on the journey of self-mastery and becoming a High-Value Individual. https://bit.ly/41tOvps   #TrueYouPodcast #LynetteJoseph #FirstLoveYourself #FLY #SelfMastery #SelfWorth #SelfDoubt #CoreValue #PurposeDrivenBusiness #GoToExpert #WomenEntrepreneurs #AuthenticValue #HighValueCollaboration #WomenEmpowerment #ProfessionalWomen #BusinessMindset #SelfLove 

Cindy Esliger explores the real cost of losing belief in ourselves and how self-doubt quietly limits career growth, especially for women in STEM and other male-dominated workplaces. Staying silent, downplaying achievements, and waiting for permission can feel like the safer path, but those choices create invisibility over time and prevent us from pursuing opportunities we've already earned. Cindy explains why self-confidence is not a fluffy concept but a critical skill for building a successful career. Drawing on the unique challenges women face in technical fields, Cindy explains how repeated microaggressions, vague feedback, and being overlooked can slowly erode confidence. She highlights six warning signs that lack of self-belief is costing us: 1. Asking permission instead of taking initiative, 2. Working harder and later than everyone else to prove worth, 3. Attributing success to luck, timing, or other people while owning every failure, 4. Staying quiet in meetings or minimizing ideas with apologies, 5. Declining opportunities because of feeling underqualified, and 6. Apologizing excessively even when nothing is wrong. She also challenges common beliefs that keep us stuck and explains the difference between confidence built on external evidence and self-confidence that comes from trusting ourselves. Cindy closes with four practical strategies to strengthen self-confidence from the inside out: 1. Understand the difference between confidence and self-confidence, 2. Use our voices effectively and powerfully, 3. Stop relying on other people's belief in us, and 4. Manage our thoughts deliberately. Believing in ourselves is not about arrogance. It's about trusting that we can handle whatever happens, continuing to take action despite uncertainty, and creating the career and life we truly want.

Grab the GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Prompt Vault HERE Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit episode, I focused on the powerful, often personal journey of growth that comes with running your own business, navigating challenges, and prioritizing mindset work. One of the biggest things to come from this episode is the importance of seek support, both through coaching and community, as well as the discipline required to work on yourself even when it feels uncomfortable. I explore the struggle many high achieving women face with feeling the need to constantly prove their worth whether in business, relationships, or to themselves and the exhaustion that comes from always trying to convince others of the value they bring. Listeners are invited behind the scenes into real, raw moments of doubt, breakthrough, and celebration, all framed by my honest perspective on how separating personal identity from business can lead to deeper self trust, acceptance, and ultimately, success. Tune in for insight, practical tools, and a reminder of the transformative power of staying committed to growth. Key Takeaways: Seeking support is not a weakness it's essential. No matter how experienced you are, having someone to guide and hold space for you is invaluable. Even coaches need coaches. Mindset is everything. 80% of your results come from your mindset and only 20% from your actions. You don't have to prove your worth. Business (and career) can't be a constant journey of convincing others of your value. Trust your work, stand in your leadership, and let self belief be enough.

Digital transformation is one of those things companies think they're doing right, but often approach through more tools, more platforms, and more activity instead of alignment, clarity, and systems that actually work.In this episode of Uncomplicate It, I sit down with Barbara Wittmann, founder of Digital Wisdom Collective, to talk about what it really takes to move from scattered tech investments to real, sustainable transformation.Barbara shares how years of leading complex transformations shaped her perspective on what's actually broken today from overloaded tech stacks to teams expected to adapt without support. Her experience reframes transformation entirely, not as a technology upgrade, but as a system that must align people, processes, and tools to perform.Her message is clear: without upgrading your people, even the best technology fails.We talk about why so many organizations invest heavily but still feel stuck, and how the disconnect between teams, systems, and decision-making leads to wasted spend, poor adoption, and constant frustration. Barbara also breaks down why buying more tools isn't the answer and how most companies are solving the wrong problem.We also get into the reality behind modern transformation, from AI hype to the pressure to “keep up” without a clear strategy or foundation underneath.We cover:Why digital transformation often becomes “random acts of tech”What most companies get wrong about investing in toolsThe concept of a human operating systemWhy misalignment slows down growth and adoptionHow companies overspend on unused platformsWhat leaders should audit before buying more techThe role of people in making systems actually workWhy upgrading skills should be continuousTakeaways:Technology alone doesn't drive transformationAlignment between people, process, and tools is everythingMore tools don't fix broken systemsClarity on how your business operates changes decisionsMost companies are overspending without realizing itYour team needs to evolve alongside your techStrong internal systems outperform constant upgradesAI will amplify whatever system is already in placeIf digital transformation has ever felt expensive, overwhelming, or underwhelming in results, this conversation will help you rethink how to approach it with clarity, structure, and intention.Connect with Barbara:Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/barbarawittmann/Website: www.digitalwisdomcollective.comFollow Us:

For most of us, the biggest bully we'll ever face is in our own head. Every time things feel like they're moving in the right direction, you're rudely interrupted by negative thoughts, anxious spirals, self-doubt, and waves of regret. You've tried reading the verse of the day, positive affirmations, and even cold plunging—but it's no use. Your brain bully is always two steps ahead. You didn't sign up to play mind games with yourself, but here you are. So, how do you exit the cycle, renew your mind, and recover your sense of courage, confidence, humility, and lovability?

What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of expertise, but the fact that your voice hasn't caught up to what you know?In this episode, Steve Mellor sits down with Dr. Leslie Gordon, a speech, voice, and accent expert who helps high-performing professionals speak with more confidence, presence, and impact. Leslie introduces the idea of the “growing edge,” a powerful replacement for the word “weakness,” and explains why real growth requires more than mindset. It requires action, repetition, awareness, and the willingness to step into unfamiliar territory.This conversation is for anyone who has ever left a meeting thinking, “I should have said something,” or who knows they have something valuable to contribute but struggles to make their voice match their expertise.Why “growing edge” is more useful than calling something a weakness  Why high performers struggle to speak up, even when they know their stuff  How self-evaluation can help growth or quietly block it  How to work with the inner critic using Leslie's “name it to tame it” strategy  Why presence, breath, and body tension shape how your message lands  Why confidence is built through action, not simply something you either have or don't haveConnect with Dr. Leslie Gordon:Website: https://www.leslie.gordon.speech/lesliegordonspeech.comSend us Fan MailSupport the showConnect with Steve MellorStay connected and keep growing with Steve:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mellor-cc/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachstevemellorBook Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.comSupport the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growthready-podcast/id1406082163Connect with GrowthReadyJoin the community and keep your growth journey going:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearegrowthready/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/growthreadypodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/growthreadywithcoachstevemellorOfficial Website - https://growthready.com/----This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via ...

Hear insights that will help you navigate the ups and downs of your professional life, strengthen your self-confidence, and embrace the winding paths your career might take.Brett Johnson and Carol Ventresca are joined by Ken Lazar, CEO of Ability Professional Network and a seasoned recruiter in the community. They talk about today's challenging employment environment—covering everything from the emotional pitfalls facing both job seekers and employees, to how self-doubt, fear of rejection, and age discrimination can impact our professional lives.Together, they explore the complexities of finding and keeping a job in an era marked by rapid changes in technology, evolving workplace expectations, and shifting definitions of career success.With stories from Ken Lazar's extensive experience, practical advice on overcoming setbacks, and a candid discussion on the role of emotional intelligence at work, this episode promises advice, encouragement, and a reminder that every career journey is full of surprises—and opportunities worth pursuing.Top 3 takeaways:Your career path isn't always linear (and that's OK!) - Every career is a “challenge of building the right skills.” Embrace the twists and turns — they're opportunities to learn, grow, and reinvent.Self-confidence comes from more than your job title - As Ken emphasizes, we're not solely defined by our occupation. Focusing on a variety of goals — professional, personal, physical, and spiritual — builds a well-rounded sense of value and direction.Own your story and share it with the world - Putting your intentions “out in the universe” isn't just about networking — it's about convincing yourself first, then finding the right opportunities (sometimes in the most surprising places!).If you like this episode, please let us know.

Today, I interview Karen Rudolf who believed she wasn't enough and learned early on to stay quiet, especially after being told as a child to stop asking questions. That moment shaped how she saw herself. She became very quiet, carried that into her relationships, and continued to feel small and unheard into adulthood.Growing up, her curiosity was shut down, and with a mother who was also timid and a people pleaser, she learned not to speak up. She entered a relationship where her voice was again dismissed, reinforcing the belief that what she thought and felt did not matter.Everything began to shift when her life circumstances intensified. Going through a divorce while raising three daughters, facing health issues like hair loss and a pre-diabetes diagnosis, and even being told she might not walk again forced her to confront how she had been living. These moments pushed her to listen to herself and realize she could no longer stay silent.She began to speak up, ask for what she needed, and trust her intuition. Today, Karen uses her voice to help others uncover the root cause of their patterns and express who they truly are.__________________Karen Rudolf is the founder of Tranquil SOULutions™, where science meets soul to support high-performing, heart-led women and leaders shift out of survival mode and into grounded alignment.With a background in nursing and training in neuroscience-informed tools, somatic awareness, and trauma-release principles, she helps clients reconnect with their inner voice, regulate their nervous system, and lead from a place of embodied clarity.Karen is also the creator of the Tranquil SOULutions Mind Mosaic™ and The Butterfly Technique, practical and intuitive frameworks for decision-making and inner realignment.

Send a textThe sky can look spotless and still your stomach drops. That sudden jolt of self-doubt—the kind that destroys your inner peace without warning—is the launching point and our analogy to explore how faith turns turbulence into training. We connect the cockpit to the chapel, showing why the gospel isn't just a belief system; it's a design system that equips your soul for real troubles, not fairytales.We start by naming the voice that says you're not enough, then align it to clear air turbulence: invisible currents that surprise even steady travelers. From Moses' shaky start to Christ's calm in the storm, we trace how God meets us right where we feel weak and helps us understand that he says: I will be with thee. That promise reshapes identity. The world grades you on performance and streaks; Jesus calls you a child of God and promises grace that turns weakness into strength. When the adversary pushes discouragement to create spiritual paralysis, this identity breaks the spiral.I share practical gospel tips on how to overcome self-doubt by living the gospel. Prayer reconnects you to the Master Pilot who sees what you can't. Scripture recalibrates the false narratives that fuel doubt, moving the mind from self-focus to God-trust. Service disrupts isolation and proves that God works through imperfect people to answer real prayers. We return to the storm on the sea to underline a pattern: Christ calms the heart before He stills the wind. Finally, we frame covenants, repentance, and the sacrament as seatbelts—simple, steady anchors that keep you safe while life shakes. The takeaway is simple and strong: self-doubt is turbulence, not your destination. Trust the One who commands the sky, stay in your seat, and keep flying.If this message helps steady your soul, tap follow, share it with someone who needs courage today, and leave a quick review to help more people find their footing in the choppy air.Support the showYou can reach me anytime at email: tandrewsen.monat@gmail.comInstagram @toddtalks_ig

“There's something sort of romantic about losing everything and going back to zero.” Garry Vee Continuing to champion a winning mindset after Super Bowl week, We sit down with serial entrepreneur, investor, cultural icon and friend of The Pivot Gary Vaynerchuk, better known to the world as Gary Vee. From immigrating to the U.S. as a kid and transforming his family's liquor store into a multimillion-dollar business, to building VaynerMedia and becoming one of the most influential voices in entrepreneurship, Gary's journey is all about betting on yourself and embracing the long game. Gary dives right in on the do's and don'ts of navigating everyday life, offering research and guidance whether you are someone who feels stuck, looking for the next thing or experiencing self-doubt, he shares something for everyone in this conversation by making complex ideas seem relatable and breaking down what's hold someone back. He breaks down the fears associated with AI and how, electricity, something we couldn't live without now, was once feared that same way. Gary gets real about taking chances before you're ready, the fears that still drive him, and why self-awareness is the ultimate competitive advantage. He breaks down what most people get wrong about success, money, and happiness, and why patience, humility, and execution matter more than hype. The conversation also dives into emerging business and media trends, where attention is really going in 2026, and how creators, athletes, and entrepreneurs can stay ahead without burning out. Plus, Gary connects his passion for sports to leadership, ownership, and legacy—and explains why athletes are perfectly positioned to dominate the business world if they play it right. This is a masterclass in mindset, risk, and evolution from someone who's lived every chapter and has a willingness to share information hoping to make an impact.

Most of us unknowingly are knocking our own crowns off- because the biggest obstacle to achieving your dreams isn't always outside forces but more about the way you talk to yourself. In this episode we will uncover why self sabotage, perfectionism, and fear of failure are often the real barriers and not always the world around us. In this episode I will share how small habits like walking, meditating, and setting boundaries can dramatically boost our confidence and resilience without all or nothing thinking. I share practical frameworks from my favorite read right now The Courage to Be Disliked, revealing how becoming more self -aware and owning responsibilities transforms our confidence. Plus, being on the journey of learning to trust our own voice, share our biggest dreams, and stop seeking external approval to do so. Looking at why this all matters and realizing that continuously knocking your crown off leads to self doubt of your own worth and stalls your life and sometimes your dreams. The real power lies in the tiny consistent promises you keep to yourself- reminding yourself of your own value everyday. This episode is the perfect one for moms, dreamers, and anyone tired of self imposed limits to live fully in 2026 for a stronger, braver, and unapologetic year. If you're ready to reset your crown and lean into our ptential this episode is that invitation.

The discussion centers around the critical role of self-awareness in personal and professional growth.The Genesis of Self-Checking: The podcast opens with Aaron introducing the concept of self-checking in leadership, likening it to a basketball player who hesitates to take a shot despite being unguarded. This metaphor sets the stage for a deeper exploration of confidence and self-awareness.Overcoming Early Challenges: Delving into his past, Erwin discusses pivotal moments that led to long-standing issues with self-esteem and self-worth. He emphasizes the importance of overcoming these early "voices" to embrace one's unique path and capabilities fully.Importance of Self-Advocacy: Throughout the conversation, Erwin explores the theme of self-advocacy, particularly highlighting how he often undermined his authority by prefacing statements with disclaimers like "I'm not an expert." This habit, he notes, detracts from his legitimacy and expertise, despite his extensive experience and knowledge. Encouragement in Relationships: Shifting the discussion to relational dynamics, particularly within families, Erwin underlines the significance of building a culture of encouragement. He discusses his approach to family relationships, which involves actively fostering trust, kindness, and appreciation without unrealistic expectations. Navigating Leadership with Integrity: Erwin and Aaron discuss the delicate balance required to navigate leadership roles authentically. They highlight the need for leaders to not only understand their strengths and weaknesses but also to remain committed to their true selves in the face of external pressures and expectations. Practical Leadership Advice: Concluding the episode, Erwin offers practical advice for listeners, emphasizing the importance of embracing one's unique talents and contributions. He encourages embracing risks and trusting one's vision as essential steps towards achieving meaningful and impactful leadership. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of understanding and nurturing one's inner life to effectively lead and influence others. It's a call to action for leaders at all levels to engage in continuous self-reflection, embrace their vulnerabilities, and foster environments where authenticity and encouragement thrive.Join the Mind Shift community here: http://erwinmcmanus.com/mindshiftpodFollow On Socialhttps://www.youtube.com/@ErwinRaphaelMcManushttps://instagram.com/mindshiftpodhttps://instagram.com/erwinmcmanushttps://instagram.com/aaroncmcmanusJoin The Newsletter!https://erwinmcmanus.com/newsletter
