"You get to decide your worth. No one can give it to you. No one can take it from you when your foundation is based on how much you love yourself. Loving yourself isn't egotistical, it's not selfish, it's a gift that you give yourself so that you can give to the world." —Beckie Kullberg Hating your body is exhausting. It steals your joy, warps your confidence, and turns every mirror into an enemy. What if you could break that cycle—not by changing your body, but by changing the way you see it?Beckie Kullberg is a body confidence coach who's lived the war with the scale, the punishing workouts, and the mirror that never gave a compliment. She rebuilt her relationship with movement, food, and self-worth—and now helps women over 40 do the same. Her work is grounded in both personal transformation and practical, real-world strategies.In this episode, Heather and Beckie unpack the damage of diet culture, how to reframe exercise as joy instead of punishment, and the power of mirror work for self-respect. Beckie also shares raw stories about hiding from cameras, learning to hike without shame, and letting go of the scale's grip, plus simple, daily practices to shift your mindset, take up space unapologetically, and finally treat your body like a trusted teammate. Connect with Heather: WebsiteFacebook InstagramLinkedInEpisode Highlights:01:08 Meet Beckie— Body Confidence Coach06:11 Looking Back— Was I Really Overweight? 12:01 Simple Habits for a Better Life 16:54 Mirror Work Works21:37 Boosting Confidence with Small Changes26:34 Social Media and Self-Esteem  29:41 Taming Your Inner Critic34:10 Writing is HealingResources:

So, today's episode is with someone I absolutely love having on the podcast - James Withey. He's been on Healing 101 not once, but twice before, and both times were full of that honest, no-nonsense kind of wisdom that just really hits. If you haven't already listened to those episodes, I'd really recommend going back and giving them a go. This time, we're talking about something so many of us wrestle with: self-esteem. That nagging feeling that you're not good enough, or that you're somehow flawed at your core. James has written a beautiful, practical book called How to Sort Your Self-Esteem - and in true James fashion, he cuts right through the fluffy stuff.We talk about why the “just love yourself” message is kind of unhelpful when you're deep in self-doubt, how to spot those little moments of self-criticism that chip away at you, and how we can start — gently — to believe that we're actually okay. Not perfect, not dazzling - just… okay. And how that can be enough. I found this conversation really helpful, and I think you might too.Buy James's book on Self-Esteem: https://amzn.eu/d/hRjSUbbTry Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt dives deep into the complex dynamics of emotionally immature parents. With her characteristic honesty and humor, Brianne outlines the four distinct types of these parents: the driven, emotional, passive, and rejecting parent. She shares her insights on how each type manifests in relationships and the profound impact they have on their children.Throughout the episode, Brianne discusses the traits and behaviors associated with emotionally immature parents, such as instability, lack of accountability, and self-centeredness. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing these patterns and how they can affect adult children, leading to low self-esteem, difficulties in forming healthy relationships, and challenges in emotional regulation.Listeners will find valuable strategies for navigating these complex relationships, including setting boundaries and practicing self-reflection. Brianne encourages everyone to break the cycle of emotional immaturity, urging parents to engage in personal growth and self-care to foster healthier connections with their children. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that understanding our past can pave the way for a brighter future.

Self-esteem isn't just a “feel-good” thing – it's the foundation of how you show up for your team, your clients, and yourself. Some days you're on fire, other days you feel like you're dragging a boulder uphill.

Love addiction is a set of symptoms most often associated with romantic relationships. But these symptoms can also show up in our relationship with work, which might look like this: seeking unconditional positive regard (ie earning validation and worthiness from the work we're doing, the company that employs us, the person who manages us), while we overvalue this company or person (and undervalue ourselves and the contribution we are making at work), all while self-neglecting as we overfunction in order to get that external validation. And all of this leads to exhaustion, health issues, and ultimately burnout.  In this episode, Jodi talks with burnout and productivity specialist, Tamu Thomas, author of Women Who Work Too Much, about toxic productivity, ambition and the cultural conditioning that shapes us. Tamu shares her personal experience with overfunctioning and how this led to a necessary life change; and why women often end up being the "selfless caretakers", how this leads us into a cycle of toxic productivity, and how we can change that...plus much more!

After snapshot of the transformaional healing through the death of my beloved purebred Andalusian performance horse, "Angel." It's profoundly more than what meets the eye..... Part 1 was recorded just 3 days after Angel passed on July 3, 2024.  Now, 13 months later, I share all of the empowering wisdom in hopes of empowering you through loss....True sustainable healing is an UNconscious, subconscious and conscious phenomenon!!!!! My chosen Godmother, Marilyn joins me as we discuss the mental, emotional and spiritual wisdom to be gained when bravely facing our deepest emotional torment in times of the death of not only a DREAM, but of a loved one. When we experience a heartbreaking loss the last thing our brain wants is to look for the #Enlightenment or #Empowerment or #BlessingsInDisguise ~ Why? Becaues our brain has an emergency override system that causes logic to temporarily trump emotional heartache. The brain is designed to prioritize the ability to function over emotional processing. If we don't process our emotions they become repressed, meaning unconscious to us, feeding into a cycle of being driven by the need to unknowingly mask pain instead of dealing and healing it.   This is why elevating and evolving consciousness matters! It's a conscious choice to take the time to feel and process our emotions which brings healing and empowerment. Ultimately, feelings of peace and meaningfulness to enrich our Sense-of-Self, our heart, soul and spirit.... If we don't allow ourselves to dig deeper into the inner workings of the human mind for the sake of self-understanding, acceptance and love, we end up reinforcing the mental patterns that instill pain.  The scariest part is that it's NOT obvious. The solution and remedy is to look for what you can't see....for the miracles are actually happening in real time!!!!! Listen to this podcast as I share my journey and why digging deep creates a whole new inner-world..........Fulfilling happiness and gratitude stem from within.   #KarenLoveLeeEmpowersYOU #EmpoweringYouThroughUs

Send us a textWhat happens when your entire identity is built around being the 'nice guy' who never rocks the boat? Harrison Saunders, host of the Growth Voyage podcast, knows this territory all too well. In this raw, illuminating conversation, Harrison reveals how a devastating wake-up call at age 19 began his journey away from people-pleasing and toward authentic living.Behind the nice guy mask often lies deep-seated shame, frustration, and a profound disconnection from one's true self. Harrison unpacks how childhood experiences—particularly his parents' divorce when he was six—shaped his people-pleasing tendencies and desperate need for external validation. "I wasn't voicing my annoyances," he explains. "I would shove it down, build resentment, and what happens with resentment is that it never leaves your body."The turning point came when Harrison recognized himself as the common denominator in his recurring relationship patterns. This crucial realization shifted him from victim mentality to creator consciousness—a transformation that changed everything. Through disciplines like Thai boxing, pro wrestling, and consistent self-development, Harrison gradually built genuine self-confidence rather than the facade he'd previously maintained.Most powerfully, Harrison shares practical strategies for breaking free from nice guy syndrome: testing boundaries in low-stakes situations, surrounding yourself with people who "call you forward," and reconnecting with your authentic self beneath the layers of conditioning. The reward? Genuine relationships, clear purpose, and the freedom of being loved for who you truly are.Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing tendencies or simply want to live more authentically, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable wisdom. As Harrison puts it: "When you become proud of the person you've become, you stop looking for external approval."Support the show

“Your voice matters. You matter. So by shining your light, by owning your worth, by using your voice, you actually give other people permission to do the same.” —Cathy Reilly   You've climbed the ladder, followed the rules, and built a life that looks successful on the outside— so why does it feel like something is missing on the inside? That quiet ache of unhappiness isn't a sign of failure; it's your inner self telling you that your ladder is leaning against the wrong wall. The friction you feel comes from the gap between who the world told you to be and who you truly are, and it's dimming the very light you're meant to share. Cathy Reilly is a communication expert and the CEO of Sharing the Shine LLC, where she helps leaders say what they really mean to get what they really want. Drawing from 25 years in high-conflict litigation and her own entrepreneurial journey of hitting a frustrating ceiling, she discovered that misalignment—not a lack of ambition—is the ultimate dream killer. Her transformation from a quiet introvert to a powerful communicator provides a brilliant, lived-in roadmap for anyone ready to trade external validation for unshakeable internal clarity. If you're done with being a well-behaved version of someone you're not, this conversation is your permission slip to shine. Listen in to discover why true success is simply alignment in action, how to use the "three brains" (your head, heart, and gut) to guide you, and a simple exercise to uncover the core values that will finally lead you home to yourself.   Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube   Episode Highlights: 02:16 The Importance of Effective Communication 08:07 Personal Growth and Self-Esteem 11:44 Aligning with Core Values 24:52 The Role of Communication in Business Success 32:38 The Power of Positive Self-Talk   38:02 Seeking Clarity in Communication   Connect with Cathy:  Cathy Reilly, CEO of Sharing the Shine LLC and founder of The Clarity Code, is an international keynote speaker, best-selling author, corporate trainer, podcast host, leadership coach, mindset mastery coach, communication, and wellness specialist who draws on her rich expertise in psychology, neurolinguistics, business, and law.

In this episode: It's all about letting go of self-esteem as a goal. It's vague, unmeasurable, and often just makes things worse—especially for people with ADHD/AuDHD. But self-efficacy is EVERYTHING. Simply put: it's the realistic belief that you have the skills to do a task or handle a situation. Your self-efficacy can be improved (thanks to neuroplasticity) and there is irrefutable science and studies that support its life-changing results. I'll explain more about the findings on self-efficacy, how it works, and give you some ways to start focusing on your self-efficacy today so that you can start projects, and actually follow through.

Summary:   Can love really be quantified? In this enlightening episode of Higher Density Living, Zoey Charif reveals how heartbreak and data led her to design the groundbreaking Love Formula. From spiritual growth to psychological clarity, discover how compatibility, self-love, and purpose can be measured and mastered. Tune in and transform your understanding of relationships through the lens of consciousness and calculated connection.   Overview:   What if your most painful breakup held the key to unlocking your highest potential in love? This episode explores that profound question through the eyes of Zoey Charif, an Afghan-born, Vancouver-raised analyst turned relationship alchemist. After enduring cycles of unhealed romantic patterns, Zoey transmuted her emotional pain into purpose by crafting the “Love Formula”—a method to assess compatibility based on values, traits, and emotional intelligence.   Jason Rigby and Zoey dive into how trauma, distorted self-worth, and cultural expectations can shape our relationship choices unconsciously. Zoey's approach doesn't eliminate emotion—it elevates it. Listeners will learn how to calculate their “Self Score,” identify top values, and consciously match with a partner whose score complements their own. From admiration as a foundation for love to understanding why purpose heals, this episode bridges the analytical and the ethereal, offering spiritual seekers a method to love wisely and fully.   Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to Love and Self-Awareness 02:39 Personal Insights and Self-Discovery 05:30 The Love Formula Explained 08:25 Understanding Compatibility and Attraction 11:07 The Role of Purpose in Relationships 13:59 Navigating Emotions and Impulsivity 16:45 Mismatch Relationships and Their Consequences 19:26 Celebrating Success in Relationships 22:10 Addressing Insecurities and Communication 25:00 The Impact of Trauma on Self-Worth 27:22 Understanding Toxicity in Relationships 30:25 Identifying Imbalances in Partner Dynamics 33:00 The Role of Self-Confidence in Relationships 37:35 Exploring Personality Types in Relationships 43:10 The Importance of Boundaries 48:50 Recognizing Deceivers in Dating   Quotes: “You can admire your partner without losing yourself.” – Zoey Charif “Our emotions are primal. Our choices are divine.” – Jason Rigby “Love isn't luck. It's clarity, courage, and calculation.” – Zoey Charif   Takeaways: Self-awareness is crucial for healthy relationships. The Love Formula helps measure compatibility scientifically. Understanding personal values can improve relationship choices. Attraction should not overshadow compatibility in relationships. Purpose in life can enhance relationship satisfaction. Emotions can cloud judgment; clarity is essential. Mismatched values often lead to relationship breakdowns. Celebrating each other's successes strengthens bonds. Jealousy often stems from insecurity and low self-worth. Recognizing toxic patterns can prevent future heartache.   Resources:

In which we find ourselves thinking, "if I only knew then, what I know now!" On the curse of Sir Walter Raleigh and other things about which we know better. How to learn from other folks' mistakes! More on altruism, as Amy contemplates writing a book on Objectivism & Virtues for a general audience. Also, cigarette smoking in hospitals and on airplanes (and anywhere else), telephones without screens, payphones and dimes, and The Yellow Pages.

In this episode Wendi dives into the difference between choosing foods based on our own self worth or foods that support our negative self-esteem. The impact of what we choose when, where, why and how can shift how and what we feel about ourselves. It is time we start to do better to feel better about ourselves. “If we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change.” -Wayne Dyer

When George W. Bush created the PEPFAR program in 2003, it was celebrated by evangelical leaders and has saved more than 26 million lives in Africa from HIV/AIDS. So why weren't evangelicals outraged when Donald Trump killed PEPFAR, which has already resulted in over 75,000 deaths since January? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn unpack the arguments for and against PEPFAR, and how evangelical support for “small government” only applies to some programs. Then, Katilyn talks to Sharon Hodde Miller about what the self-esteem movement gets wrong about insecurity, and how we can recover the Christian virtue of service and self-forgetfulness. Also this week, rotten butter ants invade Europe.   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview with Rachel Martin: https://www.patreon.com/posts/133604080/   Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/133671224/   0:00 - Show Starts   3:22 - Theme Song   3:45 - Sponsor - Blueland - Get up to 25% off your first order by going to https://www.Blueland.com/HOLYPOST   4:50 - Sponsor - Sundays Dog Food - Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.
