#55 - The Insecure Overachiever

Episode Description: In this episode, I dive into a deeply personal topic that emerged from a recent conversation with two friends at the run club—being an "insecure overachiever." We reflected on our histories of past insecurities, poor self-esteem, and how struggles with body image have impacted the way we view ourselves and why we push ourselves so hard. I open up about my own experience, sharing how these insecurities have been a recurring theme in my life and how they drive my need for validation through achievements. I discuss the ways this mindset can guide your life, the highs and lows it brings, and come to some conclusions on how to address it. If you've ever struggled with self-esteem or felt like you're constantly seeking external validation, this episode is for you. You’re not alone, and together we can navigate these feelings. As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the show and share it with your friends.
