Listen "010 - The journey of self-mastery: From external validation to inner strength"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Satori Sounds, we explore the intricate relationship between confidence, skill and abilities, and identity in both personal and professional development. We discuss how genuine confidence is built, the importance of recognising our limitations, and the crucial role of self-efficacy in growth. The conversation also examines the tension between the ideal self and the real self, highlighting the dangers of chasing an unattainable version of ourselves.
