About this episode
"This focus on externals means our happiness and sense of value are always dependent on things outside our control." ~ Rochelle Marie
In today's episode of "Her Leadership Coach," we dive deep into the second face of disempowerment: Lack.
Last week, we unpacked the crippling effects of shame. Today, we explore how operating from a sense of lack impacts our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Joined by insights from Buddhist scholar David Loy and one of my mentors Dr. Claire Zammit, we discuss the unsettling feelings of instability, emptiness, and reliance on external validation that stem from lack.
And of course we dive into practical steps on how we can move towards a state of fulfillment and stability.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
Understanding the feeling of being ungrounded and how it contributes to a sense of lack. The deeper sense of emptiness that goes beyond material needs. The dangers of basing self-worth and fulfillment on external factors. Practical strategies to ground yourself, fill the emptiness, and shift focus from external to internal drivers.
