When Self-Doubt Has Deep Roots: Returning to Emotional Wellness | mini | Ep 36

Important note... that is actually part of this episode:I realized Saturday night just before bedtime… that I didn’t actually record today’s mini. Shocker! Yikes! That's incredibly out of character for me. I’m super organized and normally very responsible.And I wondered for a moment if me “forgetting” might have been an unconscious self-sabotage.You see, I spent the last 4 days deep into business planning for growth and expansion. Something I’m learning is that there’s still a piece of me somewhere inside that has a problem! Some little part of me must be scared of going after incredible things.During business planning last week, I looked up some podcast stats, to see how I’m doing. I was incredibly surprised to learn that as soon as I released my 10th episode, I surpassed more than half of the people who start a podcast. And I had been just working on plans for episode #50, and wondered how many podcasts make it that far. Turns out, less than 9%.And I was thinking to myself— holy moly! Here I am. I’m doing it! And then, mysteriously… I almost broke my consistent posting schedule? Hmm. Convenient, don’t you think?So, when I gave myself grace and said, let’s find a good early episode that some of our friends might have missed, and the most appropriate one jumped out at me. Today on the show you’re hearing a loving rerun of episode #9.I hope you enjoy it, and I thank you for the grace of embracing me as your host as I am, because there is no “perfect” anyway.
