Summary

Whether it be our appearance, our personality or our success, most of us have a core set of beliefs about the person we are, and whether that person is 'good enough' or not. I've struggled with self worth and self doubt for as long as I can remember, to the point where I came to the conclusion that I was just an overly critical person (of myself). But recently, I've been paying close attention to what actually TRIGGERS those beliefs. Why does doing that particular thing make me feel that way? Surely I couldn't have been born with all of these insecurities, so where did they come from? WHO did they come from? How many times did I have to be exposed to whatever created the self-doubt in order for me to believe it and hold on to it? This episode is a deep dive into why we allow other people/society/brands to dictate the way we feel about ourselves (often unknowingly), and how we can do our best to prevent it from happening in the future.

0:30.8	I didn't plan on leaving it this long.
0:33.5	I didn't plan on leaving it long or leaving it in the first place.
0:37.5	Life has been, I feel like I'm at the middle of a crossroads right now, and I'll explain
0:42.4	all of this when I can right now.
0:44.8	It's still too early days.
0:46.9	Nothing bad's happened.
0:48.1	It all makes sense once I can fully explain it.
0:51.7	But yes, I just haven't had any motivation, inspiration.
0:57.0	I never want to come on here and just come on here for the sake of it,
1:01.3	just to get a podcast up.
1:02.8	I only want to show up in your feed when I have something constructive to say or to share.
1:08.8	And I think once I get back into a routine, I will be back on this
1:13.5	podcast regularly. Anyway, I wanted to get into today's episode. It came out of absolutely nowhere.
1:23.6	And that's kind of how I run my podcast in the first place. I just get a little bit of inspiration
1:30.8	and I run with it and I like, yeah, I can't plan these kinds of things. I never have been
