Personal Growth Through the Lens of Shame and Self-Acceptance | The Better Than Rich Show Ep. 75

Differentiating between our false self and true self can be challenging, but recognizing that we are inherently worthy of love and belonging is a way to distinguish the two. Our false self is built on walls and a desire for power and control to protect ourselves from shame and insecurity, while our true self is rooted in vulnerability and authenticity. When we become aware of our false self and its judgments, we can step back and observe it from a place of true self-awareness and return to a state of worthiness. This return to the true self is a place of strength and authenticity, where we can see the worthiness in ourselves and others without the protection of our ego walls. Topics Covered: 00:01:23 - Understanding our two selves: the original self and the false self created by shame 00:02:56 - The ego as a castle: components like the drawbridge and moat 00:05:22 - The ego castle's purpose of protection can also limit us 00:06:35 - The true self knows its worthiness beyond comparison and judgment 00:08:12 - Inhabiting our true self by recognizing and understanding the ego's actions 00:09:20 - Shame as a catalyst for personal growth and understanding worthiness in ourselves and others 00:11:00 - Embracing our true selves and worthiness can lead to leaving the world better than we found it Listen to the full episode with Dr. Kelly Flanagan here Connect with The Better Than Rich: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BTR Mini-Course⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin
