984. The Confidence Cure for an Ego-Driv...

Heal Squad
About this episode

What if your ego isn’t the enemy but a signal pointing you toward deeper healing? In this Heal Squad All-Star episode, Laura Berman, Ryan Weiss (wakingupwithryan), and Dr. Shefali explore the hidden dynamics of ego and confidence. They break down how ego-driven fear, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt hold us back—and how tuning into intuition, humility, and self-awareness can set us free.

From navigating vulnerability to redefining confidence, this episode offers all of the tips you need to help you stop playing small and start living authentically!



HEALERS AND HEAL-LINERS:

  • "The ego thrives on fear." The ego’s primary goal is to keep us “safe,” but it often does so by creating fear-based stories that hold us back. Recognizing when fear is ego-driven can help you make more empowered decisions.
  • The power of the “full-body yes.” Laura Berman shares how to tune into your body’s intuitive signals, like a feeling of openness or calm, to guide decisions. This practice helps distinguish between fear-based reactions and genuine alignment.
  • "Intuition lives in the heart, not the gut." While gut instincts can sometimes be fear-based, Dr. Shefali explains that the heart is where true intuition resides. Learning to differentiate between the two can help you navigate life with clarity and confidence.
