Ep 35: Permission To Uncover Sneaky Ways Low Self Worth is Showing Up [Part 1]

Working with thousands of women over the last 15 years, one of the biggest myths I've uncovered in my practice is that low self worth is only something that people who are struggling experience. Or to flip that on its head, the myth is that successful / high achieving women never have challenges with their self worth.

This is entirely untrue.

You can be a high achiever and a confident human being and still have low self worth.

In fact, there is a strong correlation between low self worth and high achievement, because so often low self worth can be a powerful motivator behind your drive to succeed, because you are continually striving to prove your worthiness - accomplishing one thing after the other.

For example, if you have low self worth, you may have developed an internal rule to protect yourself from the pain of not feeling good enough. And that rule may be something like if I achieve, if I’m the best at … then I’m enough.

This is why so often we see perfectionism, burn out and low self worth going hand in hand.
