Why Success Starts with Owning Your Worth w/ Stefanie Dingbaum

The life you're meant to build often begins when you finally believe you're worthy of it.Before Stefanie Dingbaum became a hypnotherapist, entrepreneur, and intuitive therapist, she was a burned out social worker quietly questioning whether the life she'd built was the one she was meant to live. Through her own healing journey, she discovered hypnotherapy, found the courage to leave the security of her school social worker career and eventually build a business of her own, and learned that true transformation begins by owning your worth instead of waiting for permission to change.In this episode, Stefanie shares how entrepreneurship challenged her confidence, why healing the wounds beneath the surface changed the way she leads her business, and how embracing every part of who she is, from therapist to entrepreneur to spiritual practitioner, allowed her to build a business that finally felt aligned. She also opens up about burnout, visibility, receiving support, and why taking the leap toward the life you want is often the first step toward becoming the person you're meant to be.If you've been questioning your next step, feeling stuck where you are, or wondering whether you're capable of something more, this conversation will remind you that the life you're meant to build begins with believing you're worthy of it. Connect with Stefanie:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stefanie.dingbaum/Email: [email protected]: https://www.stefaniedingbaum.com/Website: https://www.waveshealingtherapy.com/Chapters:00:40 Meet Stefanie Dingbaum02:15 From Burnout to Healing05:10 Discovering Hypnotherapy10:20 Why Fast Healing Changed Everything14:00 Learning to Slow Down19:00 Taking the Leap into Business24:00 Finding Alignment as an Entrepreneur26:30 Blending Therapy and Spirituality33:10 Learning to Receive37:10 How Self Worth Shapes Success 41:20 Why Visibility Matters43:10 The Best Advice for Big Life ChangesThis podcast is brought to you in partnership with Liz Chapman & COUpcoming Events:Napa Retreat - October 5-8, 2026 - https://laurennajar.myflodesk.com/cetj223rsrGrowth & Connect Events - https://laurennajar.myflodesk.com/hb2a0mwbqwSave 25% with Flodesk - https://flodesk.com/c/OR8VKLLet’s Stay Connected: → Follow Lauren on Instagram: www.instagram.com/laurennajar → Learn more or work with me: www.laurennajar.com → Follow Business Over Cocktails on IG: www.instagram.com/businessovercocktails → Attend Growth & Connect retreats & events: www.instagram.com/growthandconnect🎧 Subscribe & Review: Love the episode?
