Podcasts about self worth

What if the thing between you and your next quantum leap isn't more effort, but believing you're already worthy of what you want?Jessica sits down with founder, podcaster, and TBMer Ellie to bust the biggest myth about confidence: that you either have it or you don't. Ellie shares how she built hers through finding Expanders, nervous system regulation, and taking aligned action just beyond her comfort zone.You'll also hear how monthly reflection shows you the progress you're actually making, how Ellie held her price while selling her Amsterdam home when every part of her wanted to settle, and why "fractional" Expanders shift your beliefs one piece at a time.If you've been overworking, doubting you're confident enough, or feeling tested right before a breakthrough, this episode is for you.

Pre-order my book, The Secure SelfIn today's episode, we're talking about self-abandonment and what it really takes to shift away from these well-worn patterns into a more secure version of ourselves that is grounded in self-worth. We discuss why self-abandonment feels so natural to many of us with anxious attachment patterns, the importance of self-compassion, building nervous system capacity, advocating for our needs from a steady place, and building self-trust.My book, The Secure Self, is now available for pre-order!

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me. You don't have to accomplish more, prove yourself, or become someone different to be worthy of love. This meditation gently quiets self-doubt and brings you back to the truth that who you are right now is enough. A supportive meditation for self-worth, self-love, confidence, insecurity, comparison, emotional healing, and self-acceptance. Love,

Serena Kerrigan, author of Let's Fucking Date, joins us for a candid conversation about relationships, self-worth, and the mindset shifts that can completely change the way you date. She gets real about going from chasing validation to knowing you are the chooser. From the “three P” theory—potential, practice, or plot—to the two-drink rule, Serena shares how to make dating feel lighter, more fun, and less like a search for “the one.” We unpack red flags, the ick, pacing, standards, and why your time is a valuable resource. We also talk about the difference between true self-worth + self-sabotage, why healthy relationships can mirror the parts of yourself you still need to grow, and how to stop projecting old heartbreak onto someone new.  We also talk about:  Why being single can be such a powerful season of self-worth + personal growth The “Mirror, Mirror” practice + talking to yourself like your own best friend Why we're often attracted to people who reinforce what we believe we deserve The three P's of dating: potential, practice, or plot How to tell the difference between the ick + an actual red flag The two-drink rule, pacing, and protecting your time How high standards can sometimes become limitations The difference between a foundation list + a flex list when dating What healthy love feels like: safety, ease, confidence, and being fully seen Why your friendships can become the blueprint for the relationship you want Resources: Book: https://letsfuckingdate.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/serenakerrigan Sponsors:  Quince | Upgrade your everyday.

Episode 100 feels like a threshold.A full cycle. A new chapter. And I can't think of a better conversation to begin it with than receiving.We talk a lot about wanting more.More money.More support.More visibility.More opportunity.More ease.More love.But wanting something consciously and actually having the capacity to receive it are not always the same thing.In this episode, I'm inviting you out of the mind and into the body.What happens when someone wants to pay you more, support you, praise you, hire you, really see you, or give something to you?Do you soften?Do you contract?Do you minimize?Do you immediately feel like you have to earn it?Because sometimes what looks like a money issue is really a receiving issue.A support issue.A self-worth issue.A safety issue.Or an old story about what happens when we are given more.The body remembers.And those tiny contractions can tell us a much larger story.In this episode, we explore receiving as a nervous-system experience, the body's response to money, support, praise, visibility and opportunity, the beliefs underneath contraction, and why “more” can sometimes register as pressure, obligation or danger.I also share more about the chapter I'm moving into around 2nd-house themes — money, worth, resources, receiving and what we're actually able to hold.And I'm introducing something new to the podcast: live listener explorations where we'll follow the thread underneath a contraction and explore the subconscious emotion, belief or pattern sitting beneath the surface.I also take you inside the Rooted & Rising Living Library and the Annual Profections Guide.ANNUAL PROFECTIONS GUIDEOne of the first people to move through the guide is a seasoned astrologer + artist.She described the experience as:“This was such a gift, an alchemical blend of astrology and storytelling.”She shared that the storytelling prompts became a remedy that helped her move out of a frozen pattern of confusion and call forward the archetype of Mars — courage, movement, assertion and life force — as she prepares to put her art into the world more courageously.That is the heart of this work.Not collecting more information.Learning how to recognize the story you are already living inside.The Annual Profections Guide is currently available for $8.88 through October 8th in honor of my birthday.After that, it will remain inside the Rooted & Rising Living Library at $18.88.Use it for the year you're in now, revisit it throughout the year, and come back again as each birthday activates a new house and Time Lord.EXPLORE YOUR YEAR HERE WORK WITH ME 1:1I've opened a limited number of private sessions for October.If something in this episode brought up a deeper thread around money, receiving, self-worth, support, relationships, visibility, intuition, or a pattern you're ready to explore at the root, you can book a private session here:BOOK A 1:1 SESSION HERE LIVE LISTENER EXPLORATIONSI'm also beginning a new podcast series where I'll invite listeners into a live mini exploration around themes like money, support, visibility, self-worth, boundaries, pricing, success, being seen and receiving.These are not traditional interviews or full private sessions.We'll follow the thread underneath the contraction, explore what the body is holding, and work with the subconscious pattern underneath it.If you want to be considered for one of these live podcast explorations, make sure you're on my email list.JOIN THE EMAIL LIST HERE + FREE RESOURCES:https://www.jessicameils.com/freebiesCONNECTWebsite:https://www.jessicameils.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/peoplecallmejessPodcast:Jessica Meils the PodcastRoot deeply.Rise authentically.Trust yourself along the way.

Abusers know exactly how to manipulate and target their victims' biggest weaknesses. They repeatedly erode your identity until there's nothing left and until you're too tired to fight back. But there is hope! Karen DeArmond Gardner, a pastoral trauma coach and author, discusses the scary reality of domestic abuse in the home, when a husband trashes his marriage and beats his wife down, physically or emotionally, to get his way. Karen recounts her personal, decades-long struggle surviving domestic abuse, how she escaped, and what she learned. She advises how to assess your situation and what kind of potential solutions might just make things worse. Don't be afraid to get help - but make sure you're getting it from the right people. TAKEAWAYS Couples counseling can be very dangerous for a woman who is in an abusive marriage Marital counseling, in domestic abuse cases, doesn't work because the issue isn't marital; it's abuse Women are taught to be submissive to their husbands, which grooms them to turn the other cheek too often Some abusers can change their behavior, but it is very rare, and abusers erode freedoms and identity bit by bit

In this episode of the Foster Friendly Podcast, hosts Kristin Allender and Travis Vangsnes interview Sophia Pantoja who shares her experiences growing up in the foster care system.

It's important to help foster kids see their self-worth.Foster children need a sense of normalcy and freedom.Shared experiences can empower foster youth.Love and stability are essential for foster children.Foster alumni can provide valuable insights to current foster kids.Transitioning from nursing to social work can be fulfilling.Foster care has both positives and negatives.Encouragement is vital for foster alumni.Compassion is crucial in the field of social work.The I Belong project helps connect foster kids with families.

What happens when you achieve the career, the titles, the recognition and the success you once dreamed of, but still feel like something is missing?In this powerful episode of the Loud Whisper Reignite Your Voice Podcast, Isabel Draughon sits down with award-winning author, keynote speaker, former tech industry leader, and women's empowerment advocate JJ DiGeronimo for an honest conversation about what it really means to succeed while staying connected to yourself.JJ shares her journey from Silicon Valley leadership and external achievement to discovering the importance of inner work, self-love, mindfulness, intuition and spiritual alignment.Together, they explore:✨ Why external success can never replace self-love✨ The difference between gaining knowledge and actually doing the inner work✨ How high achievers can lose touch with their own voice✨ Why exhaustion can be a sign that you're living from pressure instead of alignment✨ How to recognize the opportunities that truly feel right✨ Creating "fuel stations" in your calendar to refill your energy✨ Learning to be present and reconnect with yourself✨ Letting go of expectations and other people's definitions of success✨ Rediscovering the gifts and wisdom you already carry✨ Why you don't have to become someone else to be enough✨ How self-love can change the way you experience your lifeOne of the most powerful reminders from this conversation is simple:You are enough right now.You don't have to reach another title, degree, milestone or level of success before you give yourself permission to be present, listen to your inner voice and honor who you are.If you've ever felt successful on the outside but disconnected on the inside, this conversation is for you.

Marisa Peer, world-renowned therapist and creator of Rapid Transformational Therapy, joins Tim Gray to explore how the subconscious mind forms and rewires beliefs, why the words we use shape our reality, and why lasting change can happen far faster than most people have been led to believe.

What does self-worth really look like when we stop trying to be perfectly secure? Dr. Ann Kelley talks with psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Marisa G. Franco about her new book, Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment. Dr. Franco challenges the idea that healing means becoming perfectly “secure,” arguing instead for becoming “secure-ish”—learning to acknowledge insecurity, shame, vulnerability, and other difficult emotions without judging or rejecting those parts of ourselves. She explores the difference between self-esteem and true self-worth, why some people struggle to receive love or positive feedback, and how our deeply held stories about ourselves can shape the relationships and experiences we seek out. The conversation also navigates into the science of memory and memory reconsolidation, including how past experiences can continue to influence our emotions and reactions even when we don't consciously remember them. “Being a steward of self-worth for self and for others is about allowing people to make mistakes and be imperfect.” – Dr. Marisa G.

What if the problem isn't that you haven't found the right diet yet?For decades, we've been taught to measure health by weight, clothing size, calories and the number on the scale. But what happens when the pursuit of weight loss actually pulls us further away from our health—and from ourselves?In this episode, JJ welcomes back nutritionist, behavior specialist and author Carrie Lupoli for a powerful conversation about diet culture, body image, GLP-1s, self-worth and the beliefs that drive so many of our choices around food and our bodies.Carrie shares the philosophy behind her new book, From Corset to Crown, and the difference between making health decisions from the “corset”—restriction, fear, self-sacrifice and the need for outside approval—and making those same decisions from the “crown” of self-worth, self-love and self-leadership.Because losing weight and becoming healthier are not necessarily the same goal.JJ and Carrie explore why reaching a “goal weight” doesn't automatically create confidence, happiness or self-worth; why our culture is so quick to compliment weight loss without asking what is happening underneath it; and why changing your relationship with your body may be just as important as changing what you eat.They also discuss GLP-1 medications and the current obsession with weight loss, blood sugar stabilization, diet mentality, emotional eating, body image, cultural conditioning and the deeper question we rarely stop to ask:Why do I want to lose weight—and what do I believe will finally be different about me when I do?In this episode, you'll hear more about:The difference between weight loss and true healthHow diet culture connects body size to self-worthWhy getting to your “goal weight” may not make you happierGLP-1s and our cultural obsession with getting smallerBlood sugar stabilization and sustainable nutritionWhy the motivation underneath your health choices mattersHow childhood messages can shape body image and self-worthThe connection between self-sacrifice, stress and abandoning your own needsWhy meal plans and diets alone rarely address the deeper issueHow to identify whether a choice is coming from your “corset” or your “crown”Why self-awareness, self-love and self-leadership belong in the health conversationA different definition of what it means for a diet or health strategy to actually “work”Carrie asks three powerful questions that can begin changing your relationship with food and your body: What do you want? Why do you want it? And what is your definition of “working”?Because if “working” means having peace around food, understanding how to fuel your body, feeling healthy and knowing your worth, the number on the scale can't be the only measurement that matters.ABOUT CARRIE LUPOLICarrie Lupoli is a nutritionist, behavior specialist, educator, speaker and author whose work challenges traditional diet culture and helps women create a healthier relationship with food, their bodies and themselves.

What happens when being strong, disciplined, and useful becomes so much a part of your identity that you no longer know how to exist without it?This week, Aisha sits down with burlesque artist and Healing Through Seduction creator Perle Noire for a deeply personal conversation about self-devotion, embodiment, self-trust, and the identities women build around sacrifice.Perle shares how her relationship with burlesque became a path back to her body after being exploited at 19—and why the work she does today isn't ultimately about sexuality or performing for someone else. It's about helping women reconnect with themselves.Together, Aisha and Perle unpack the difference between self-discipline and self-devotion, why high-achieving women can struggle to surrender control, what eldest daughters and “strong friends” learn about usefulness, and why sensuality can be a relationship with yourself rather than something reserved for sex or partnership.Aisha also opens up about her own relationship with her body after pregnancy and motherhood, being the “good girl,” sexuality and shame, ambition, financial freedom, and the pressure to become the successful person who can carry everyone else.Later, Perle explains why she held a funeral for “Mama Perle”—the identity that helped make her successful but could no longer accompany the woman she was becoming—and what new boundaries have required her to leave behind.This episode asks a difficult question: Who are you when your worth is no longer measured by how much you can carry for everyone else?Listener Gift: https://blackburlesquequeen.com/5-minute-body-activation-mirror-workFOLLOW PERLE: IG: @theperlenoireYouTube: @theperlenoireWeb: blackburlesquequeen.com

But what happens when the pursuit of weight loss actually pulls us further away from our health—and from ourselves?In this episode, JJ welcomes back nutritionist, behavior specialist and author Carrie Lupoli for a powerful conversation about diet culture, body image, GLP-1s, self-worth and the beliefs that drive so many of our choices around food and our bodies.Carrie shares the philosophy behind her new book, From Corset to Crown, and the difference between making health decisions from the “corset”—restriction, fear, self-sacrifice and the need for outside approval—and making those same decisions from the “crown” of self-worth, self-love and self-leadership.Because losing weight and becoming healthier are not necessarily the same goal.JJ and Carrie explore why reaching a “goal weight” doesn't automatically create confidence, happiness or self-worth; why our culture is so quick to compliment weight loss without asking what is happening underneath it; and why changing your relationship with your body may be just as important as changing what you eat.They also discuss GLP-1 medications and the current obsession with weight loss, blood sugar stabilization, diet mentality, emotional eating, body image, cultural conditioning and the deeper question we rarely stop to ask:Why do I want to lose weight—and what do I believe will finally be different about me when I do?In this episode, you'll hear more about:The difference between weight loss and true healthHow diet culture connects body size to self-worthWhy getting to your “goal weight” may not make you happierGLP-1s and our cultural obsession with getting smallerBlood sugar stabilization and sustainable nutritionWhy the motivation underneath your health choices mattersHow childhood messages can shape body image and self-worthThe connection between self-sacrifice, stress and abandoning your own needsWhy meal plans and diets alone rarely address the deeper issueHow to identify whether a choice is coming from your “corset” or your “crown”Why self-awareness, self-love and self-leadership belong in the health conversationA different definition of what it means for a diet or health strategy to actually “work”Carrie asks three powerful questions that can begin changing your relationship with food and your body: What do you want? Why do you want it? And what is your definition of “working”?Because if “working” means having peace around food, understanding how to fuel your body, feeling healthy and knowing your worth, the number on the scale can't be the only measurement that matters.ABOUT CARRIE LUPOLICarrie Lupoli is a nutritionist, behavior specialist, educator, speaker and author whose work challenges traditional diet culture and helps women create a healthier relationship with food, their bodies and themselves.

Does your child's success ever feel like a reflection of whether you're doing a “good enough” job as a mom? Motherhood can bring our own childhood experiences, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and need for external validation to the surface, sometimes without us even realizing it.In this episode, Emily talks with Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Anuja Khadka about self-worth in motherhood, inner child healing, mom guilt, social media comparison, and what can happen when we tie our identity as mothers to our children's outcomes.Anuja shares how she recognized this pattern in her own motherhood journey and explains why a child's milestones, achievements, and struggles aren't a report card on a mother's worth. They also dig into how your own childhood wounds can show up in parenting: a toddler's tantrum, your child's school experience, or even a seemingly small everyday moment can sometimes trigger an emotional response that feels much bigger than the situation itself. Anuja explains why noticing those reactions can offer an opportunity to get curious about what's underneath them.In this episode, you'll hear about:• Why moms can tie their self-worth to their children's achievements• The difference between responsibility and control in motherhood• How childhood experiences can shape our need for external validation• Social media comparison and the pressure of the “perfect mom”• Moving from external validation toward internal validation• Reclaiming your identity beyond the role of mom

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me. Happiness is not something you have to earn after you've finally done enough. This uplifting affirmation meditation supports self-worth, fulfillment, joy, and the belief that you deserve a life that feels meaningful and satisfying. Love,

Why can you lose weight and STILL not like what you see in the mirror? Why do we tie our self-worth to a number on the scale? And why do stress, social media, and even the people around us change how we see our own bodies?   In this episode of Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Dr. Rachel Goldman, psychologist and author of When Life Happens: The Mindset Shift You Need to Manage Stress, Build Confidence, and Break Free. Together, they explore the psychology behind body image, emotional eating, diet culture, weight loss, and self-worth—and why changing your body doesn't always change the way you see yourself. In this episode, you'll uncover:

The first time my therapist asked me to picture "little Rachel" on the playground, glasses and all, and offer her the comfort she needed, I thought it sounded so woo-woo. I went along with it, but I was skeptical that imagining my younger self could change anything about how I feel today. What I didn't know then is that there's real science behind exercises like that one. Our sense of worth is built on our memories, and researchers are finding that when we revisit those memories in the right way, we can actually change how they're stored in the brain.This week's guest is Dr. Marisa G. Franco, psychologist and author of Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment. She explains that even though low self-esteem can feel permanent, the truth is much more hopeful: self-worth is a skill, and there are simple, research-backed practices that can help you build it at any age. In this episode, you'll learn:

In this episode, we're diving into something that Abby has struggled with for most of her life: the feeling that she's never doing enough. Whether it's parenting, work, or her home, she shares how she can hit one goal and immediately move the bar higher, which makes it hard to actually feel proud of what she's accomplished or be present in the moment. We talk about where this drive comes from, how it can turn into overfunctioning and burnout, and what it looks like to start letting go of the constant pressure to do more. She's still figuring this out, but Abby's learning that being “enough” isn't something she can achieve. It's something she has to decide.Key Topics Covered:The connection between achievement, praise, and belongingHow comparison can fuel negative self-talkWhy rest and play can feel uncomfortable for high achieversPrompts to help redefine your priorities and recognize when you're already doing enoughLetting go of perfection without losing the parts of yourself that make you a high achieverLINKS AND RESOURCES:LMNT: Free Sample Pack with purchase:  drinkLMNT.com/HERSELF FORAGE KITCHEN: Check out your nearest locationGrab a copy of the book The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level: https://amzlink.to/az0Vz8f52wrL6 Let's connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

So many women believe they'll finally feel better about themselves when they lose the weight, change their body, or reach the goal. But changing the outside doesn't always change how we feel on the inside.Psychologist and author Dr. Marisa G. Franco joins me to explore where our sense of self-worth actually comes from and how old experiences can continue shaping the way we see ourselves years later.We talk about body image as we age, menopause, insecurity, nervous system patterns, reparenting, vulnerability, and why learning to acknowledge the parts of ourselves we'd rather push away may be an important part of building genuine self-worth.In this episode:Self-worth vs. confidenceBody image and menopauseHow old memories shape the way we see ourselvesWhy insecurity can feel protectiveReparenting and Internal Family SystemsInterrupting negative thought spiralsVulnerability and deeper relationshipsLearning to value who you are now_RESOURCES MENTIONEDFREE Nervous System Questionnaire NEW!

There's a kind of joy that isn't dependent on everything going right. It doesn't disappear when plans change, circumstances get messy, or life takes an unexpected turn. And this week, there's an opportunity to connect to that kind of joy in a way that can change how you move through the world.We're exploring a powerful shift in consciousness that can help us access more joy, trust, and inner freedom—even when we don't have all the answers and nothing around us seems to have changed. This is a week to tap into something deeper than temporary happiness and discover a source of joy that can stay with you long after the week is over.Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with@ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.  Watch LIVE Sundays at 10 am PT / 1pm ET on The Kabbalah Centre YouTube or catch the latest episode wherever you listen to podcasts.Find out more about our work, dig into our archives, and send us a message at: www.weeklyenergyboost.com.You can also help make Weekly Energy Boost possible by making a tax-deductible contribution at www.weeklyenergyboost.com/donate-today.

Daniel Sterling was on skis at three and racing by eight — and he spent the next sixteen years chasing ski-racing glory until the joy was gone and his whole identity had collapsed into one thing: the fast guy. When he retired at 24, burned out with no education and no prospects, he kept chasing the next shiny thing — broadcasting, Hollywood, five screenplays — all the way to the bottom.Then a mentor shook his hand, looked straight through him, listened to his polished family story, and asked the question that started everything: "That all sounds great. Why are you so miserable?"This is a conversation about what happens when your identity is wrapped up in one pursuit — and who you get to become when it's gone. Daniel and Robin get into coping by disappearing, the slow work of learning to say the hard thing out loud, and the practice that reshaped his life: asking of everything that lands on him, is this mine, or is it someone else's?We talk about:— Why an identity built on winning is a tenuous place to stand— Praising a child's effort instead of their talent — and how it quietly dissolves perfectionism— The "hot seat," emotional withdrawal, and what it costs to stay silent— Personal accountability: "I am responsible for everything" — and being your own advocate when someone tries to unload on you— The difference between being nice and being kind— Open loops — the unmade decisions, the unhad conversations, the promises to ourselves — and why they weigh on usA conversation about coming to know yourself so well that the patterns that don't serve you no longer have a hold on you.Daniel is the author of the forthcoming memoir Hungry.MORE FROM DANIEL STERLING"Shared Space" SubstackYouTube & Instagram — Daniel Sterling Writer Got a loop you need to close?

Send us Fan MailWhat makes a good coach? Knowledge matters, but so does knowing when to explain, when to listen, and how to reach the person in front of you.In Episode 499 of Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Christian Thibaudeau, a coach, author and educator whose work has taken him across 26 sports and 22 countries. Christian spent 11 years coaching high school and college football, has worked with Olympians and professional athletes, and has written seven books and more than 800 articles for T Nation and Thibarmy. He also created the Neurotyping system, which explores how personality can inform coaching, communication, training, and nutrition.Our conversation moves through his early years in football and Olympic weightlifting, the mistakes that changed how he coaches, and the difference between sharing everything you know and helping someone learn. Christian speaks openly about self-esteem, his drive to earn approval, the injuries that came from pushing his own training too far, and what fatherhood has taught him about himself. It's a thoughtful conversation about the person behind the coach, and the work of continuing to grow in both roles.

What if the things suddenly feeling “off” in your life are actually showing you exactly where you're meant to go next? In this episode, Lacy and Jessica dive into the Refinement Era and Lacy's recent channeling about the Great Clearing: an upcoming season of releasing distractions, outdated identities, energy leaks, and anything that no longer reflects who you're becoming. They explore why this isn't about "locking in" through more discipline or force, but about locking into your soul and getting radically clear on what deserves your life force.Lacy shares her latest channeling on shame integration, intuition, and the freedom of embracing your "f*ck it energy." Jessica breaks down how expanders, visibility, creativity, and her 3am "lazy river" metaphor are reshaping the way she thinks about manifestation. From soul friendships and social media to rituals, nature, and following the smallest intuitive pings, this conversation is an invitation to stop fighting the current, clear what's draining your power, and make space for a life that feels unmistakably like you.Full show notes → https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources:The TBM App Has Upleveled!Our app just got a major upgrade to make your manifestation ritual easier and more personalized.

Please listen with care.In this episode, Wendy sits down with author and TEDx speaker Candi Rose for an honest conversation about shame, survival, and the freedom she found in telling the truth about her past. Candi shares how unresolved pain contributed to substance abuse, destructive choices, and an abusive relationship, as well as the moment she realized that visible success had not healed what she was still carrying. Writing her memoir, Naked, became part of facing her past, reclaiming her voice, and releasing the fear that someone else could use her story against her.They explore:Why achievement and external success cannot resolve the pain and shame we continue to hideHow sharing your story in a safe, nonjudgmental space can loosen shame's hold and create meaningful connectionWhat it means to stop performing as the person others expect and begin choosing what you genuinely want for yourselfThis is a conversation about confronting the parts of your story you would rather keep hidden, finding support that allows you to speak without judgment, and remembering that transformation rarely happens in a straight line.Connect with Candi:On Instagram: instagram.com/millionaireflipperOn Facebook: facebook.com/share/1FwbidKdCq/?mibextid=wwXIfrHer TedTalk: youtu.be/AApYIyGW6YQ?si=IyexueFAEyNNzSX3Her Book: NAKED: A True Story: Incarceration, Abuse, Shame & Redemption: amazon.com/NAKED-Story-Incarceration-Abuse-Redemption/dp/B0D2JGCTM7?tag=syty-20YouTube: youtube.com/@candirose________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

Are you struggling with not feeling like "enough?" This is actually a common feeling that can get wrapped up or conflated with stress, burnout, depression, anxiety, and so many other mental health struggles. The good news is that no matter what you're dealing with, you do have some influence here and can work on skills to build our sense of self-worth and enoughness. We'll dig into Self-discrepancy theory, which explains how the gaps between our actual, ideal, and ought selves can stir up dejection or anxiety. We'll also explore sociometer theory and the metaphor for self-esteem as a fuel gauge that rises with appreciation and drops with rejection. The truth is, these calculations and gauges will always fluctuate. The real work isn't eliminating the gauges or the dips, but building an internal reserve, a sense of enoughness, that doesn't depend on outside refueling.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

A: This episode maps some psychology of enoughness: self-discrepancy theory shows how unconscious gaps between your actual, ideal, and ought selves generate specific emotional consequences (depression from the ideal gap, anxiety from the ought gap); sociometer theory explains how self-esteem tracks with perceived relational value rather than objective achievement (and why negative feedback stings harder than positive feedback heals); the path toward enoughness is building an internal source of worth rather than depending on the gauge.   Q: Is it possible to genuinely feel like enough without abandoning the desire to grow or improve? A: Yes. Fighting to be someone different from who you are keeps you stuck; it's through accepting who you are that change and growth actually become possible. Self-worth, self-acceptance, and self-compassion are key factors for behavior change.    Key moments: [00:30] The central question: who are we trying to be enough for? A parent, a boss, a child, ourselves? [01:30] Self-discrepancy theory: three representations of self — actual, ideal, and ought — and how gaps between them generate negative emotions   [03:30] These calculations often run below conscious awareness; self-discrepancy theory maps which gaps produce which feelings [04:00] Actual vs. ideal gap: tends to produce dejection-related emotions — sadness, depression, shame, embarrassment [04:30] Actual vs. ought gap: tends to produce agitation-related emotions — anxiety, fear, guilt, feeling threatened [05:00] Feeling not enough isn't usually just one thing — it's multiple calculations happening at once, often measuring us against someone else's ruler [06:00] Henry: how accurately can any of us describe our actual selves? [07:30] Henry: we'll never become our ideal selves or have the ideal life — this might be another Gate of Grief worth naming and grieving [09:00] Toxic positivity pushback: this isn't about not dreaming big; it's about not attaching your worth to whether you get there [10:00] Sociometer theory: self-esteem isn't primarily about how good you think you are at things — it's about how valued you feel in your relationships [12:00] When we don't embrace our own worth, the gauge takes over how we see and value ourselves [13:00] Henry: intermittent reinforcement — if self-esteem depends on occasional good feedback and tanks on bad feedback, we're psychologically vulnerable [14:00] Rejection sensitivity: a potent clinical cause of anxiety and depression; the possibility of rejection alone can shrink a life significantly [15:30] Aimee: we're wired to care what others think; caring isn't the problem; the problem is being unconscious to how much it drives us [16:30] The gauges don't need to be broken — they're functioning; the goal is to not attach our worth to them [17:30] The sense of enoughness is an oasis of self-compassion and inner knowing — you matter, you're a person of value, even when rejected, even when empty [20:30] This isn't solitary work: support, community, and daily practices all help build the internal gas station [22:00] The happiness paradox: research shows that highly valuing happiness — treating it as something to actively pursue at all times — leads to feeling less happy and worse long-term wellbeing outcomes [24:30] Henry: the difference between valuing joy and grasping at happiness; grasping operates from scarcity — the very grasping creates stress [26:00] Series takeaways: feeling not enough is tragically common; the antidote is self-compassion; most of us hold an unreachable ideal — our job isn't to reach it, it's to let go [27:00] Preview of the next two Elements: Letting Go (October) and Self-Compassion (November) — more tools to embrace Enoughness [28:00] Closing wisdom from Brené Brown: "You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging."   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!    Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Your self-worth today can be affected by your memories. But you have power over those memories – when you re-experience them. By doing that, you can reshape your self-esteem for the better and change your perspective. That idea and the broader science of self-worth are at the heart of Marisa Franco's new book Worth. It's so intriguing to us, we couldn't pass up the chance to share it with you. That's why today's episode is a peek at a conversation Marisa had about self-worth on NPR's self-help podcast Life Kit.Interested in more psychology episodes?

Why Can't I Accept a Compliment? — A 10-Minute Meditation for Deflecting Praise and Receiving Kindness Somebody said something lovely to you recently, and you did that thing — the little wave of the hand, "oh, stop it," or you fired one straight back at them, quick as anything, so the spotlight had somewhere else to go. Afterwards, maybe an hour later, maybe in the car, there was that little thought: why did I do that again? You can hand out compliments all day long, but you can't take one yourself. This guided meditation doesn't try to fix that in ten minutes — it just asks you to notice what happens when something good is offered to you. For a quiet place to return to, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's companion app. Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode uses a gentle form of kumbhaka — a short, comfortable pause after the exhale, never a held breath — before moving into affirmation work that separates receiving a compliment from having to believe, correct, or perform in response to it. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – The Reflex Before the Thank You* 00:50 – Welcome & Anchored* 01:42 – Noticing Your Escape Route* 02:28 – Breathing: Gentle Kumbhaka (Out 6, Rest 2–3)* 04:50 – Why We Deflect* 05:40 – Affirmations for Receiving* 08:13 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 09:03 – Coming Back Gently* 09:36 – A Note From Martin

Hey, lovers! Welcome back to Sex, Love & Everything in Between with Jacob and Meg.In this episode, Jacob and Meg sit down with confidence coach and host of Sex, Other, Money, Rebecca Antonucci, for a raw conversation about female desire, sex, shame, self-worth, relationships, ambition, and what it really means to stop abandoning yourself to be chosen.They begin by exploring the power of sex as an arena for transformation, including why so many women struggle to express their desires, communicate their needs, and experience pleasure without performing for validation or connection.From there, they dive into the “cool girl” archetype, people-pleasing, being “high maintenance,” hyper-independence, and the cost of pretending you don't want what you actually want.Rebecca also shares her own journey of confronting shame, leaving comfort zones, and realizing that some of the goals she was chasing were borrowed desires rather than what her heart genuinely wanted.They explore what happens when women stop making their worth dependent on relationships, money, business success, or external validation—and instead begin building their lives around their authentic desires.WE COVER:[00:00:42] Reclaiming Your Power & Desires Rebecca shares her work helping women reclaim their power from shame, wounds, and the patterns holding them back.[00:01:21] Sex as an Arena for Transformation Why learning to express your desires in the bedroom can transform how you show up everywhere else in life.[00:02:33] Shame, Sex & Authentic Expression Why women can struggle to communicate their desires, boundaries, and needs in relationships.[00:05:02] Performing for Validation Instead of Pleasure Meg reflects on realizing she had been seeking validation and wanting to be chosen rather than orienting toward her own pleasure.[00:06:16] Would You Rather Lose the Connection or Lose Yourself? Why staying true to yourself may require risking the connection.[00:07:15] When Women Don't Know There Is Another Way Stories from women who had never been taught to think about their own pleasure or desires in sex.[00:08:14] Choosing Your Desires in Long-Term Relationships The vulnerability of speaking your truth after years of participating in the same relationship dynamic.[00:11:40] The Things We Try to Keep Buried Rebecca shares her experience with shame and what happened when she finally gave it words.[00:12:22] The Cave You Fear Holds the Treasure You Seek Why facing the things we avoid can create freedom.[00:14:49] Courage Is Part of the Process Why you cannot create a liberated life without repeatedly choosing courage and moving through discomfort.[00:19:18] Leaving Comfort Zones Rebecca shares her move to Bali and what happened when an exciting new life eventually became another comfort zone.[00:21:05] Borrowed Desires vs. Authentic Desires How social media can shape the life women think they should want—and how to come back to what is actually true for you.[00:25:20] When Business Success Becomes Your Identity Meg shares how money and business performance once became deeply connected to her sense of worth.[00:29:32] Why High-Achieving Women Can Struggle to Receive Rebecca explores what happens when a woman is so self-sufficient that there is little room for a partner to support her.[00:35:49] Softness, Vulnerability & Letting Yourself Be Held A conversation about feminine softness, sensitivity, and the power of allowing yourself to receive support.[00:36:30] You Don't Have to Be Just One Version of Yourself Why women don't need to choose between being ambitious, independent, soft, sensitive, or vulnerable.[00:39:15] The Power of Being “High Maintenance” What owning your needs, preferences, standards, and desires can reveal about your self-worth.[00:40:18] The Cost of Being the “Pick Me” Why abandoning your needs to be chosen can create bigger problems later in a relationship.[00:43:18] Stop Playing the Cool Girl How unexpressed desires and trying to be easygoing can disconnect you from yourself.[00:47:18] Your Desires Desire You Rebecca talks about claiming your desires instead of hiding them out of shame, fear, or embarrassment.[00:50:16] Start Living as the Woman You Want to Become How to identify the woman behind your desires and begin aligning your choices with her.[00:52:08] What If You Jump and the Net Doesn't Appear? Why taking the leap can still be worth it even when the outcome isn't guaranteed.[00:52:34] One Life.

223 There are two parts of you that are always shaping your marriage, often far more deeply than you realize. So you want to really understand them –especially as an HSP. Together they are always deeply influencing how you feel in your marriage, and how you are interacting with your partner, for better or for worse.Although you can—and should—look at these two parts of yourself individually, they're are deeply interconnected and constantly influencing each other. So we have to understand how to look at and work with them together,  if we want the most sway over how we feel in our relationship.In this episode, we will use metaphor and science to look at how your nervous system and your mind work together to shape the way you experience your husband, your emotions, and the difficult moments that inevitably happen in marriage.You'll see why the same situation can feel completely different depending on what's happening inside you—and how learning to work with both gives you more choice, clarity, connection, and access to the woman you want to be in your marriage……and to the marriage you really want to have.The best part may well be the simple garden metaphor (mid–way through) that will help you understand this all in a way that really clicks, and will change the way you think about how much influence you really do have when it comes to making your relationship the loving one you want.SHOW NOTES: Learn more about Foundations of Emotional Well-Being for HSPs, and join the cohort here. ENJOYING THE SHOW? Don't miss an episode!

Have you ever hit every target on your own scoreboard and still felt like something was missing?That was David Gottfried's reality after four decades of success by every conventional measure. David is the man who turned green building into a global standard now used in 85 countries, and yet all that achievement left him asking a harder question: what actually makes a life well lived?In this episode, David introduces a framework built around three kinds of worth: net worth, self-worth, and soul worth, and shares why the usual measures of success can never tell the whole story on their own.Discover the three kinds of worth, and why soul worth may be the one missing from your own definition of success.Use David's simple deposits-and-depletions exercise to see what feeds your soul and what is quietly draining it.Reflect on whether the life you are living today is the life you would want people to describe when you are no longer here.Play the episode to discover how to realign your own compass and start building a life that is genuinely well lived.˚KEY POINTS AND TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction and Meeting David Gottfried03:07 - Code One: What's False in Your Life05:30 - Growing Up with a Net-Worth Mindset08:25 - Self-Worth and the Hungry Ego10:18 - Soul Worth: A Life of Service13:49 - The Soul-Worth Ledger Exercise20:53 - Letting Soul Worth Have Room to Live23:02 - Where to Find David and Regen Circles24:40 - The Funeral Exercise27:26 - Closing Thoughts and Call to Action˚MEMORABLE QUOTE:"You can't take the net worth with you, you leave it behind."˚VALUABLE RESOURCES:David's website: https://regen360.net/˚Coaching with Agi: https://personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com/mentor˚

There's a thought you may be carrying right now that quietly keeps you from experiencing the peace you're looking for. You might not even recognize it as the problem. It can hide inside the things you replay, the outcomes you're waiting for, and the parts of your life you're still wishing had gone differently.This week, we take a closer look at what happens when we stop trying to make reality fit our expectations. Something begins to shift when we release the need for things to be different—and we may discover that the peace, love, and freedom we've been looking for were never as far away as we thought. The question is: what are you still believing needs to change before you can finally be at peace?Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with@ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.  Watch LIVE Sundays at 10 am PT / 1pm ET on The Kabbalah Centre YouTube or catch the latest episode wherever you listen to podcasts.Find out more about our work, dig into our archives, and send us a message at: www.weeklyenergyboost.com.You can also help make Weekly Energy Boost possible by making a tax-deductible contribution at www.weeklyenergyboost.com/donate-today.

#751: The belief that's quietly sabotaging your progress might not even be true. Free worksheet to question it: https://affordanything.com/turn-it-around Two people can grow up with the exact same test scores — and as adults, one of them ends up earning double the other. Psychologist Marisa Franco says the deciding factor isn't intelligence, and it isn't luck. It's whether you actually believe good things are allowed to happen to you. Dr. Marisa Franco is a psychologist and professor at the University of Maryland, and the New York Times bestselling author of Platonic. She's back to talk about her new book, Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment. In this episode, we discuss: How self-worth — not intelligence or family income — predicts how much you'll earn as an adult Why some people quietly sabotage their own portfolio right before they hit financial independence The difference between "good" and "bad" high self-esteem, and why one of them wrecks relationships Why getting more love or praise than you expect can make you pull away instead of lean in How to actually process a hard emotion instead of shoving it down Why hitting a big financial goal can leave you feeling strangely empty once you get there How to rebuild your sense of self after losing an identity you were attached to Whether you've ever undermined your own progress right before a finish line, or wondered why reaching a goal didn't feel the way you thought it would, this episode gives you a framework for understanding — and changing — that pattern. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS Note: Timestamps may vary slightly depending on dynamic ad placements.

What if the belief system you've been locked into isn't actually true…and you've held the keys to your own freedom all along?Right before a big transformation, old patterns often get louder right before they loosen their grip. But a flawed belief system doesn't mean you're flawed as a person—it just means there are parts of you still asking to be healed.This episode is your protocol for getting grounded, going deeper, and getting curious about what's actually keeping you stuck. If you're in a rut, hitting rock bottom, or just having one of those low-spark days, consider this your manifestation pep talk to disrupt the old story and bring you home to yourself.That magnetic, grounded version of you never left. They're still in there. And the universe is constantly sending you clues about how to get back to them. We're here to help you tune into your intuition, follow those clues, dance with the universe again, and bring your higher self back online.Full show notes → https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources:ENDS SOON: $22/MONTH EQUINOX SALELock in your $22/month Pathway membership and make this the season you change your life.

Description:Dr. Marisa G. Franco is back — and this time, she's turning the lens inward. Marisa is the New York Times bestselling author of Platonic and a psychologist at the University of Maryland, and her brand new book, Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment, might just be the most important thing she's ever written. It is tender, personal, and research-backed in equal measure — and friend, it will find you.In this conversation, Marisa and Jen dig into the central argument of the book: that trying to become a "secure" person — calm, confident, regulated, healed — is one of the most efficient ways to stay stuck. The goal, Marisa says, is not security. It's being secure-ish. That means making room for the anxious parts and the avoidant parts, the shame and the neediness and the grief, and offering those parts the care they never got instead of running from them one more time.In this discussion, you'll also hear:Why the goal was never to be fully "secure" — and what it means to be secure-ish insteadWhy your insecurities are messengers, not enemies — and how to stop whack-a-moleing them into silenceThe memories that are keeping you stuck — and the science that proves you can actually change how they live in youThe messages installed in us by the wider world — faith, bodies, marriage, worth — and what it looks like to do this work when those messages came from somewhere we once considered holyAnd Marisa shares her own story, the one that cracked her open: a hike, a relationship unraveling, and the moment she finally stopped performing calm long enough to say the true thing out loud.This is a conversation for anyone who has been trying to be better than they are instead of being who they are. Which is to say — it's for all of us.Thought-provoking Quotes:“The struggle of not feeling worthy is that you're stuck in the same sense of reality. You're trapped and you don't know how to get out. People are loving you but you don't feel loved. The beauties of life slide off of you. I just want people to get free of that.” - Dr. Marisa G. Franco“We have to start with allowing what is, with the truth. So many of us don't think we can because we have to be something different than we are. But being where you are, that's where the healing happens.” - Dr. Marisa G. Franco“I'm still learning for my first reaction to no longer be, what am I allowed to feel according to other people? What am I allowed to look like according to other people? And for my first question to be what expresses who I am and how I actually feel, even if that violates all of the rules as to how I should feel or how I should present myself? That's where I need to begin, in the truth.” - Dr. Marisa G.
