Episode Synopsis

Have you ever felt like your business success defines your worth? That every low-engagement post, failed launch, or quiet inbox is proof that you’re not good enough? You’re not alone. Many entrepreneurs unknowingly fall into a psychological trap known as stamp collecting—accumulating emotional “proof” that they’re failing.In this episode, I break down how this subconscious pattern keeps business owners stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, burnout, and self-sabotage. Drawing from Transactional Analysis, I’ll show you how to recognize these hidden beliefs, break free from them, and finally start creating from a place of confidence rather than fear. If you’re tired of feeling like your business is a never-ending test of your worth, this conversation is for you.Learn more about:Stamp collection - https://deniseglee.com/when-business-becomes-personal-the-self-worth-trap/Being able to give and receive love - https://deniseglee.com/emotional-generosity-how-to-give-freely-without-burning-out/Enjoyed this episode?Subscribe to never miss an updateShare with others who might benefitLeave a review to help others find usStay Connected with Me!Visit DeniseGLee.com to:💛 Learn more about my background and approach💛 Inquire about my private coaching program💛 Dive into insightful articles💛 Access the full podcast library💛 Explore additional resources designed to help you thriveMessage Me on X (Twitter): @DeniseGLeeConnect with Me on LinkedIn: @denisegleeJoin My Free Weekly Newsletter!Sign up to get actionable tips and insights straight to your inbox: Subscribe HereDiscover Your Life Script!Take this quick questionnaire to uncover how your past influences your present and future: Start the QuestionnaireReady to Connect with Others on a Deeper Level?Enroll in my free mini course.
