Welcome back to another episode of Unleash your Inner Radiance with me, your host, lisa Dorn. I am a Catalyst, life Wellness Coach and Transformation Coach, and I'm also an international best-selling author and a realtor right here in Minnesota. I am so incredibly excited to have you guys here with me today for our Monday Mindset episode. I know I have not done one of these in a while. I have been dealing with my dad, who has dementia, and he has recently gone into hospice and the start back to school because I am also a special education parent, so I work with autistic kids that are in kindergarten, so it's kind of like herding kittens. Anyway, school started. I've been exhausted, dealing with my dad and just so many different things. I also became a bestselling author this summer of Unstoppable 4, the powerhouse edition, so I was super excited to be a part of that collaboration with 24 other amazing women. So more on that later. But I am here today to do my normal Monday Mindset episode. This is the place where we are going to dig into topics that absolutely light you up from within and help you stay fully and step fully into your power. So today we are going to talk about something that is really deeply personal to me, deeply personal to me self-worth, because I struggled all my life, for as long as I can remember, with self-worth and self-confidence. So that is what we're going to talk about today. So it is a topic that I want to tell you guys that this is exactly what my chapter in the book was about was about my lack of self-confidence and my lack of self-worth that I felt my entire life up until just recently. So that is what my chapter is about my life and how I had to deal with it. So I want to share my personal journey of growth and the transformation that I experienced from writing that chapter. Now, when I was asked to write a chapter in Unstoppable for the Powerhouse edition, I was really skeptical because I'm just a small-town girl from Minnesota. Am I a powerhouse? I don't think so. So it was just kind of like I don't know. I just didn't think I was ready for that. But I was, and I didn't realize it and the healing that I did in reading that chapter, writing that chapter, was absolutely amazing. It was transformational. That chapter, writing that chapter, was absolutely amazing. It was transformational. So I hope by the end of this episode, you feel inspired and ready to embrace your inner radiance.

Speaker 1: 3:41

So right now, we're going to talk about owning your self-worth because, let's be real, self-worth isn't something that we're taught. It's. For many people, it is something that we have to actively work on, day in and day out. See, in my own journey, I didn't always know my worth. There were moments where I absolutely doubted if I had anything, anything that was valuable to offer to anyone in my relationships, in my friends, in everywhere. So can you relate to that? Or are you just not quite sure of yourself? Maybe you've been in a space where you feel like, no matter what you did, it just wasn't good enough, because I felt that way for a very long time until I learned that self-worth isn't something that everyone else can give you. It's not. It's something that you have to have on your own, that you have to build on your own, that you have to claim and that you need to nurture yourself.

Speaker 1: 5:13

Writing my chapter in Unstoppable 4 taught me that we all have unique stories, experiences and gifts that are meant to be shared. Each of us has a purpose, a light, an energy and an impact to make. What is yours going to be? But none of that can happen until you truly see your own value. So if you are struggling with seeing your own value, please reach out to me. Go to my website, set up a time we can talk for 15, 20 minutes, see how we can work together no charge. Just let's have a conversation about how you can take your next steps.

Speaker 1: 6:07

So now let's talk about building unshakable confidence, because I still struggle with that. So we're going to talk about confidence, but here's the truth Confidence isn't something that just magically appears, it's built. It's constructed through action, through showing up, even when you are scared to death or uncertain or you're unsure about proving to yourself that you're capable of way more than you ever thought possible. You truly are. I mean, I started this podcast a year ago. That was scary. I started coaching but that was kind of brought through my real estate because you coach people.

Speaker 1: 7:04

But I still struggled Not every day with my self-confidence. But you know that little devil on my shoulder will tell me every now and then that I'm an imposter, or who do I think I am, or you know all of those things to writing my chapter in a collaboration with 24 other powerhouse women. I had absolutely no idea what kind of an impact it would make. I was overwhelmed. I questioned almost daily whether I was the right person to share my story. Did my story actually matter? But you know what?

Speaker 1: 7:57

Confidence doesn't come from knowing that you'll succeed. It comes from showing up anyway, knowing that, whatever the outcome, you'll learn, you'll grow and you'll become stronger. When the book came out and it almost instantly went to international bestseller, that was a confidence boost for me, that's for sure. That was a real big confidence boost. But it wasn't just about the success. It was about the fact that I took a leap of faith. Confidence is rewarding yourself for stepping out of your comfort zone, taking the risks and trusting in yourself, but letting go of the outcome. That is something that I just learned this past week at a Women's Empowerment Conference.

Speaker 1: 9:04

So in Unstoppable 4, the Powerhouse Edition, my chapter tells my personal story of transformation, how I overcame self-doubt and limiting beliefs and came to embrace the woman who I was truly meant to be. And I'm here to tell you that if I can do it, you can too. You are worthy, you are enough, you are as powerful as you can possibly be, and you are powerful beyond measure. One of the biggest lessons that I want to share with you is this Self-worth and self-confidence are not destinations, they are practices, and you have to remind yourself daily of your value, especially when life tries to tell you otherwise. So let's give you guys a call to action today. So let's get into that. How do you start building self-worth and self-confidence today? Here are two things that you can do right now to boost those.

Speaker 1: 10:27

One affirm your worth Every day. Look in the mirror and remind yourself of your worth every day. Look in the mirror and remind yourself of your worth. Look yourself in the eye. You know that was the toughest thing for me to do when I started doing it, and even some days I just can't, you know totally. I mean, I look at myself and I'm brushing my teeth, but to really look in your eye and say I am worthy, I am confident, I am beautiful, I'm smart and I'm worth it, that's tough to do. So say it out loud I am valuable, I am enough, I have something amazing to offer the world. That's what I want you guys to say to each other. Say to yourselves every day this week I am valuable, I am enough and I have something amazing to offer the world. Because repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition is extremely powerful. Repetition, repetition is extremely powerful. So I want you to say that until you believe it, speak it to yourself. Until you believe it Again, it's I am valuable, I am enough and I have something amazing to offer the world.

Speaker 1: 12:05

Two how about if we take a bold step? Think of the one thing that has been holding you back because of fear or doubt. Do you know that one thing? Have you thought of it yet? Because today I want you to take that one step forward. It doesn't have to be huge, just a single step that moves you. Sending that email or making a decision to invest in yourself. It's that easy. What step are you going to take? I would love for you to share it with me. That would be great.

Speaker 1: 12:59

I want to leave you with a affirmation, because I always do that on Mindset Mondays. Here's the affirmation today. Let's close with a powerful affirmation. It's going to carry you through the week. Okay, so we're going to do? Here's your affirmation I am worthy of all the good that life has to offer. I confidently step into my power and embrace my unique gifts.

Speaker 1: 13:33
