About this listen

In this eye-opening episode, we break down the crucial difference between confidence and self-worth — and why so many women can be highly capable, successful, and competent yet still feel like they’re “not enough.” If you’ve ever wondered how you can excel at work, manage a household, or juggle all the things and still struggle to feel lovable, deserving, or valued, this one will hit home.

I’m sharing a personal story about the season of my life when I was fixing, updating, and improving everything in my house — checking every box, accomplishing every task — yet deep down, I still didn’t feel worthy of being loved by someone else. It’s a powerful example of how achievement can boost your confidence, but it can’t fill the deeper need for self-worth.

We’ll unpack why confidence is built through action and skill, while self-worth is rooted in identity, emotional safety, and our beliefs about ourselves. You’ll learn how external success can mask internal wounds, how perfectionism and people-pleasing fuel the “not enough” narrative, and how to begin rebuilding a solid sense of worth from the inside out.
