selective unworthiness, maybe it's particular scenarios and situations, it's contextual or whether it's pervasive, it can really be all over the place.

And so I think that I really wanted to speak to that and have the audience have a very visceral reaction and like, oh, she's talking about the unworthy leadership.

I can relate to that.

What I realized through my own journey of launching and then

publishing 26 episodes in my first season of my podcast since last February was that I felt unworthy having a podcast because I felt everyone out there has one.

There's so many to choose from.

Why me?

I'm not famous.

I haven't written a book.

I'm sort of always been known as the ghost in the boardroom because I work behind all these really successful executives, but I'm not really a huge known name.

I was struggling with my own feelings of unworthiness.

And so as that's evolved, I realized that what I'm really looking to do is help high achievers and really circumvent the root cause that's driving high achievers to still feel so unfulfilled.

Yeah, definitely ego is a huge part of it.

I think the ego is what drives the need to get at that external validation that unfortunately we have a society today that is largely driven on external validation.

think of it and I mean even from corporate standard what's your market share you know how are you marketing are you dressing appropriately are you you know everything I mean you you play a sport my sons are both in sports okay the scoreboard gives you direct feedback how are you doing you know so everything is external validation and that's why for me I find it so important to be rooted in my my faith so I have a bigger mission and picture of sort of what my purpose is here and

and how I can live my life and that my worth is identified in being a child of God and Christ.

And that is my worth.

And it took me a long time to get there.

I'm 51.

So it took me a long time to get there.
