Description

Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “If I were just smarter, calmer, thinner, or more disciplined—then I wouldn’t feel this way”? You’re not alone. So many of us live with the quiet belief that if we were “better,” we wouldn’t struggle, feel insecure, or experience shame.


In this episode of The Great Leader, Great Mom Podcast, part of the Courage Series, we unravel the toxic myth of perfection—the false story that our worth depends on comparison, achievement, or external validation.

✨ You’ll learn:

  • Why the scripts of “If I were better…” and “Everyone else is doing it right” keep us stuck in shame.

  • How comparison fuels insecurity and the trap of not-enoughness.

  • Why hard feelings don’t mean you’re broken—they mean you’re human.

  • Practical tools to reframe shame and begin practicing radical self-acceptance.

The truth? You don’t need to earn your worthiness. You are already enough—right now.
