In this episode, I dive into the topic of self-worth, something I surprisingly haven’t covered in depth before—despite this being my 245th episode! I reflect on my podcast journey and how over 130,000 listeners have tuned in, which is incredible.
We often feel like we’re not enough, whether in relationships, careers, or personal growth. But the truth is, self-worth is intrinsic—it’s something we are born with, not something we have to earn. The challenge is not about proving our worth but learning how to navigate fear, self-doubt, and emotions so they don’t hold us back.
I share how shifting our perspective on self-worth can transform our confidence and overall experience of life. Instead of trying to “feel good enough,” we should focus on processing emotions, balancing our inner world, and taking action despite fear.
If this resonates with you, I’m hosting a confidence masterclass on February 11th to go even deeper into these ideas. You can register at joinamanda.ca. Let’s build the life we truly want—without questioning our worth.
Tune in and let’s talk self-worth!
📌 00:00 – 02:00 | Introduction & Podcast Milestone
- Amanda reflects on reaching 245 podcast episodes and how over 130,000 people have listened.
- She realizes she’s never done a full episode on self-worth before, which surprises her.
- Welcomes both new and returning listeners.
📌 02:00 – 05:00 | Why Self-Worth is Important
- Many women struggle with feeling “not good enough.”
- Self-worth influences confidence, happiness, and fulfillment in life.
- A common belief: “I don’t feel like I have self-worth” → This thinking keeps us stuck.
📌 05:00 – 08:00 | The Truth About Self-Worth
- Self-worth is intrinsic—it’s not something we earn, prove, or lose.
- Example: A newborn baby has full worth despite doing nothing—why wouldn’t that be true for adults?
- Key takeaway: We don’t have to search for or create self-worth—it’s already there.
📌 08:00 – 11:00 | The Danger of Trying to "Earn" Self-Worth
- Many people chase self-worth through:
- Productivity & success
- Relationships & approval
- Physical appearance & achievements
- But when is it ever enough? The cycle never ends because we’re looking in the wrong place.
📌 11:00 – 14:00 | The Real Issue: Fear, Not Lack of Self-Worth
- People often say, “I’m not starting because I don’t feel good enough.”
- The real issue is fear of failure, rejection, or uncertainty.
- Example: Dating fears → It’s not about self-worth but about learning to navigate emotions like fear and uncertainty.
📌 14:00 – 17:00 | How to Navigate Fear & Build Confidence
- You don’t need more self-worth—you need to get comfortable with discomfort.
- Confidence comes from:
- Feeling fear and taking action anyway.
- Learning to regulate emotions.
- Trusting yourself to handle challenges.
- The key is not avoiding fear but learning to process it.
📌 17:00 – 20:00 | Empowering Yourself Instead of Feeling Stuck
- Feeling “not enough” leads to feeling powerless.
- Instead of trying to feel worthy, ask: “What do I actually want, and how do I get there?”
- Learning to navigate emotions like fear, frustration, and overwhelm leads to real confidence.
📌 20:00 – 22:00 | Closing & Confidence Masterclass Invitation
- You already have self-worth—you don’t need to prove it.
- The real work is learning how to navigate emotions and take action despite fear.
