Why you never feel good enough: the neuroscience of self-worth

This is the most personal episode I've ever recorded so far. Because I'm talking about something I've carried my entire life: the feeling of never being good enough. No matter what I achieve, no matter how many people tell me I'm doing great, there's always this quiet voice underneath saying: no you're not. In this episode, I break down what's actually happening in our brain when we feel this way. And then even more importantly, the practical, science-backed ways to change it. I hope this episode is helpful for you wherever you are on this journey right now, and I'm just incredibly grateful you are giving me your time to listen to it.

You're not stuck - you're in the wrong environment

"You're not just the average of the 5 people closest to you. You're the average of the 5 places, the 5 routines, and the 5 inputs you're exposed to most. Every space you occupy is voting on who you become." @tishray This quote gave me goosebumps, and in this week's episode, I go into the neuroscience behind WHY our surroundings have this much power over who we become, and what we can do to use that to our absolute advantage, to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

I want to do everything so I end up doing nothing

If you're someone who has 100 ideas, 20 tabs open, and a notes app full of dreams — but somehow nothing actually gets done — this episode is for you. This podcast episode was literally a week late because I couldn't decide which topic to record. I kept going back and forth, I procrastinated, I recorded one and hated it, I got completely sidetracked by other things, and then ended up doing nothing. And that's when it got so clear to me, that this pattern I've been stuck in is the same one so many of us are trapped in: wanting to do everything, and ending up doing nothing. In this episode, I'm breaking down the neuroscience of why this happens (spoiler: it's NOT a discipline problem), and what actually works to break out of the freeze. By the end, you'll understand why your brain does this — and you'll have a real, practical plan to finally start finishing things.
