This Found You Because You Keep Asking Why

from Conversations That Count · host David Shaft

You spent your whole life proving why me. This episode is the moment you stop proving and start believing why not me, the confidence you already earned.In this short solo session, David Shaft breaks down the tug of war between the part of you that needs to earn its seat and the part that already knows it belongs, and why those two halves were never meant to fight. With a nod to Lil Durk on treating the mic like therapy and Steve Harvey on your 100 percent survival rate, it is an honest reset on self belief, confidence, and mindset.Try this: next time you catch yourself asking why me, name three things you have already survived or accomplished, then let them answer why not me.CHAPTERS0:00 Hook0:10 Treat the mic like therapy1:06 Why me versus why not me2:24 Does it have to be one or the other3:08 Let your wins feed the belief4:59 It was never a versus match6:06 Your 100 percent survival rate6:51 It was always just youGet the free Communication Playbook: https://ctcpodcast.media/free-playbookCONNECT WITH CTC:Website: https://ctcpodcast.mediaApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/conversations-that-count-a31f16a6-3131-4c8f-982f-19d52407e8eb/id1890348796Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3J6lZ10GvK07qCv3aQxnkRLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/david-shaftALSO FROM DAVID SHAFT (voice):Gildenmyth: https://gildenmyth.comThe Sleeping Almanac: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSleepingAlmanacKingdoms at Dusk: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTCouRuuI30LEwUdKIaOE5wFollow Conversations That Count on Spotify and Apple Podcasts so you never miss an episode.
