The Secret to Unshakable Inner Confidence and Self-Worth

Are you exhausted from over-giving and over-doing? Do you tend to look to others for validation or lean into people-pleasing behaviors? If so, you're in solid company. From childhood forward, many of us learn to tend to others' needs to feel valuable and worthy. And from my experience, these hardwired habits can foster perfectionism, enmeshment, and dependency--and even open the door to being exploited by thoughtless or self-serving people. Yet I've found that small changes over time can foster the awareness and inner strength you need to create healthy habits and set yourself free. Today, we're joined by a fabulous guest who specializes in helping others gain self-worth from within--instead of from others.Topics discussed include emotional outsourcing, perfectionism, self-care, self-love, habit change, midlife crisis, perimenopause, menopause, life changes, role changes, codependency, red flags, neurolinguistics, GABA, boundaries, marriage, children, parenting, healthy relationships, reciprocity, mutuality, and grief.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Details: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.
