EP 120: Books & Self Worth: Reading & Writing Them with Lynda Sunshine West

In this powerful and deeply personal episode,we welcome back bestselling author, publisher, and speaker Lynda Sunshine West. Together, we explore the raw truths behind success—the struggles, healing, and self-discovery that don't make it into the highlight reels.Lynda shares how running away at age five and not being "rescued" shaped decades of self-doubt, people-pleasing, and fear—and how she reclaimed her worth by facing one fear a day for a year. The conversation dives into the damage caused by gaslighting, the inner work of rewriting personal narratives, and the radical act of vulnerability in leadership, business, and storytelling.Whether you’re writing a book, healing from trauma, or trying to rediscover your voice, this episode will remind you that your story is worthy, and sharing it can spark powerful connection and impact.Check out Lynda’s new Story Sculptor!
