06. Shame, Striving and Knowing You Matter

Shame, Striving and Believing You Matter In this episode of 'The Courage to Fully Live', host Bekah shares two pivotal childhood experiences that  planted seeds of shame tied to the belief that she wasn’t worth defending and didn’t matter.  She discusses the challenges of healing and emphasizes that true self-worth cannot be derived from external sources but must come from within, advocating for a deep, transformative approach to self-love that involves vulnerability, healing past wounds, and filling up one's own 'love tank' to enable authentic connections with others.  00:46 Childhood Memories: The Origin of “I don’t matter” 03:34 The Struggle with Self-Worth 04:59 The Power of Shame 06:28 The Journey of Self-Discovery 12:38 The Power of Self-Validation 14:27 The Role of Relationships in Self-Validation
