How to Believe that You Are Good Enough

In our competitive society, it isn’t surprising how often people doubt themselves. Throughout our lives, our abilities are sized up with different yardsticks and our expectations are heavily based on what we see in the media and the opinions of those around us.

How to Overcome Self-Doubt and Not Feeling Good Enough

At some point in our lives, every one of us has asked ourselves some version of the question, “Am I good enough?” We may have allowed the weight of self-doubt to influence how we judge ourselves and and the choices that we make in life.

But I’ve also seen how just one simple spark of inspiration can be a total game-changer. In this podcast episode, I share a few tried-and-tested ideas on how you can deal with feelings of insecurity and self-doubt whenever they do crop up.

The Difference Between Intelligence and Wisdom

Wisdom and intelligence are two words that are often seen as interchangeable because of their similarities. The truth, however, is that each one represents a distinctly different type of knowledge.

By understanding the nuanced differences between intelligence and wisdom, as I outline in this podcast, you’ll figure out the exact steps you need to take to acquire and embody each trait.
