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. Thank you so much for being here ❤️
