37 - Breaking Free from Unworthiness with Diane Lang

Ever feel like you're not good enough, no matter what you accomplish? You're not alone.

In this episode, we sit down with therapist, educator, and author Diane Lang to explore the thought patterns that quietly undermine our confidence and what we can do to change them. Diane, author of "Worthy," shares insights on:

• The difference between perfectionism and excellence, and why striving for perfection sets us up for failure
• How a growth mindset and the power of "yet" can transform our approach to challenges
• Practical mindfulness techniques that take just 2-3 minutes but can reset your entire day
• Why over-apologizing is connected to feelings of unworthiness
• The real relationship between money and happiness (spoiler: it's not what you think)
• How to navigate social media without damaging your self-worth
• Simple daily practices like journaling and gratitude that can rewire your brain

Whether you're dealing with imposter syndrome, people-pleasing tendencies, or just want to build more self-awareness, this conversation offers compassionate, practical guidance for your journey toward self-acceptance.
