Episode notes

In this chapter, the hosts explore the concept of ego, its origins, and its impact on our lives. They discuss the importance of deconstructing our ego and cultivating genuine confidence, self-love, and gratitude. They also highlight the significance of practicing gratitude and being content with our own lives, rather than constantly comparing ourselves to others.

In this week's episode we discuss the psychology of your ego and what its trying to tell us! Ego can feel nasty and entitled but it comes from a place of deep insecurity that we need to unpack before we can truly understand ourselves. We look at the 6 signs your ego is in control, where ego comes from and how to replace it with self esteem and humility. We also discuss why ego and self confidence are different things even though they sometimes look similar: how ego is insecure, inconsistent and relies on the perceived inferiority of others whilst confidence is stable, sure and kind. Remember, you are not your ego so in this episode we talk how to rein it in, accept it as part of who we are and move forward. Listen now.
