About this episode
Sharla answers listener questions about self esteem, shame, and grandiosity in a casual format.
In this quick mid-week bonus episode, Sharla answers two listener questions from our current series on Real Self Esteem and the distortions of shame and grandiosity. We explore: Why you can feel confident and know your worth, yet still hear harsh critical voices from your parents How to pursue excellence and high performance without falling into grandiosity or one-up-ness The different “parts” of us (healthy adult vs. adaptive child) and why this matters These short bonus episodes are our new way of answering your questions in a more casual format between full episodes.
