On Air with Ella - episode 219
KNOW YOUR WORTH
In this episode, I'm talking to Shanta Jackson, The Homegirl Therapist about:
The Imposter Complex - persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud"
We're strong, accomplished women....why do we still feel this sometimes?
How social media can amplify these feelings
How this has manifested in Shanta's life and what she did about it
Flipping the script - taking our perceived "weaknesses" and making them our superpower
Showing up, living out loud and being our authentic selves... for real
While engaging in behaviors seeking love and worth I didn't know at the time that I was hustling for my worth, but I knew I wanted to be seen so bad, I wanted to be valued so bad, I wanted to feel enough so badly. - Shanta J.
