High Self-Belief, Low Self-Worth (And the Simple Way Out) with Amy Lenius
Mon Feb 02 2026
Most people don’t have a motivation problem. They have a self-worth problem.
In this episode, Amy Lenius and I unpack why high performers can look confident on the outside but still feel shaky on the inside. We talk about the difference between self-belief and self-worth, how core wounds show up in everyday life, and why consistency is less about willpower and more about alignment.
You’ll hear how Amy rebuilt her life after years of chronic illness, why small 1% shifts compound into real change, and how practices like gratitude, frustration audits, and social courage can help you stop performing and start living from a grounded place.
If you’ve been doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this conversation will help you see a simple next step.
