Should, Shame and the Ego

The Uncharted Podcast

Show Notes

In this Episode I discuss how Self Esteem can actually cause us to undermine the greatest version of ourselves, why the word 'should' fills our lives with shame and embarrassment that can stop us giving maximal effort.. and what role the Ego plays in all of this. Be prepared to learn how the Ego is the part of us that we are aware of, when we think about ourselves... and how, if we don't regulate this.. That it runs amok and ensures that our faith in our abilities suffers, our confidence dwindles and our fear of looking inadequate keeps us stuck and struggling.
