Overcoming Not Good Enough in Midlife

Meegan Cares About Midlife

Show Notes

"But I think over overthinking and procrastination and that all or nothing thinking is definitely something I see a lot with clients that have this limiting belief."

I've got such an incredible episode for you this week. Take your time to listen to it. It's a little longer than usual. It's actually come from an Instagram live with Justine Jetty. Now you may remember Justine from a previous podcast episode very recently. She's a nutrition and exercise coach, and she's an incredible force of inspiration.

Well, Justine interviews me and we have this fantastic, unmissable conversation all around limiting core beliefs, specifically the limiting belief that is, I am not enough and I am not good enough, which resides at the core of every single person I've worked with, including myself.

We discuss our challenges with our self-worth, confidence, our capacity to really show up in life in the way that we want to, as well as the connection of shame to this limiting belief of 'not good enough'.

Here are some key takeaways for you:

🔑 It's a Journey, Not About Perfection: Justine and I emphasize that the journey of healing and growth is not about achieving perfection. It's about acknowledging our vulnerabilities and embracing the process of transformation.

🔑 Managing Discomfort: We discussed the importance of not letting negative thoughts be in the "driver's seat" of our lives. Finding ways to manage and tolerate discomfort is crucial for personal development.

🔑 Training the Mind: Rather than relying solely on affirmations, we emphasize the value of training the mind through repetition. Addressing underlying subconscious beliefs is essential for true transformation and growth.

I encourage you to tune in to the full episode to explore these vital topics further and gain insights that can positively impact your journey to self-acceptance and empowerment. Let's continue to support each other in cultivating a mindset of resilience and growth.

Tune in now for an inspiring conversation that will leave you feeling empowered and ready to take on the world.
