298: Self-Confidence Surge with Andrea Owen

3 Plays2 years ago

Shame is a universal experience. At some point, we all feel it, and at every point, we try to avoid it. That’s why many high-achievers are also people-pleasers and perfectionists.

And this pattern of exhausting behavior almost always erodes self-confidence because:

1) We’re not robots, nobody’s perfect, and we all make mistakes.

2) You’ll never please everyone. And I really mean never-will-you-ever.

So, the next time you engage in that unobtainable perfectionism chase, you’ll at least be aware that you’re letting “shame” drive the bus of your life. (Rather than tucking it into the trunk, next to that half-broken umbrella, where it belongs!)

For the conclusion of our Intentional Support Podcast, I’m delighted to welcome best-selling author and podcaster, Andrea Owen. Her specialty is helping high-achieving women maximize unshakable confidence and master resilience.

Often sold out, Andrea’s books are translated into 20 languages and are available in 23+ countries. I couldn’t put down: How to Stop Feeling Like Shit: 14 Habits That Are Holding You Back From Happiness. (And return to it often whenever I need an inspiration refresh.)

Today, Andrea and I discuss the trauma spectrum. Andrea also reveals traits and habits that can sneakily sap self-confidence, and what to do instead.

What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

The push/pull of intimacy
Beer commercials & Kodak moments
When your friends socially exclude you
Collecting trauma letters throughout life
Catastrophizing & rehearsing tragedy
