Is self-help helping you… or hurting you?

We’re living in the age of self-improvement overload—books, podcasts, routines, coaching, courses. But what if the constant pursuit of growth is actually keeping you stuck?

In this video, I explore The Dark Side of Self-Help—how the obsession with healing and bettering yourself can lead to burnout, perfectionism, and even emotional avoidance.

We’ll dive into:
✅ How self-help can become a form of avoidance
✅ Why more information isn’t always better
✅ The pressure to be constantly “healing”
✅ How to find balance between self-growth and self-acceptance

This isn’t about bashing self-help—it’s about using it intentionally and not letting it define your worth. If you’ve ever felt like you're always “working on yourself” but still not feeling good enough, this video is for you.

Have you ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself just to be accepted? Like the real you wasn’t good enough? We all wear masks—whether it’s to fit in, avoid rejection, or meet expectations. But over time, these masks don’t just protect us… they trap us.

✅ How suppressing your real self impacts your happiness, relationships, and confidence
✅ The Golden Shadow—how what you admire in others is a reflection of your hidden potential
✅ Practical steps to take off the mask and start living as your authentic self

If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, self-doubt, or feeling like you have to change who you are to be accepted—this video is for you. It’s time to embrace your truth and let go of the fear of being seen.

Do you ever feel like you’re behind in life? Like everyone else is achieving more, growing faster, and somehow, you’re just… stuck?

I get it, because I struggled with this too, and still do. Comparison is something we all struggle with, but what if it’s keeping us from seeing our own progress?

In this video, we’ll talk about:
 ✅ Why we compare ourselves to others & how it’s wired into our brain
 ✅ The hidden cost of comparison (it’s damaging more than you realize)
 ✅ The Golden Shadow – how what you envy in others is actually a reflection of your untapped potential
✅ Practical steps to break free from the comparison trap and start celebrating your own journey

🚀 Key takeaway: Instead of comparing yourself to others, what if you started comparing yourself to who you were yesterday? The only person you need to compete with is YOU.

Are You Celebrating Your Wins? (Most People Don’t – Here’s Why You Should!)

Most of us work hard on ourselves, chase goals, and push for growth—but when we accomplish something, we just move on to the next thing. Why don’t we stop to acknowledge our progress? In this video, we’ll explore:

✅ Why it’s so hard to celebrate ourselves
✅ How NOT celebrating impacts your self-worth & motivation
✅ The connection between inner child wounds & self-acknowledgment
✅ Simple ways to start celebrating your wins today

🔹 The Brain Science Behind It
The book Buddha’s Brain explains how our mind is Velcro for negative experiences and Teflon for positive ones—meaning, we hold onto failures but let good moments slip away. If we don’t intentionally acknowledge our wins, we’ll always feel like we’re not doing enough.

🔹 Inner Child Healing & Self-Worth
If you grew up feeling like your achievements weren’t celebrated or were dismissed, this could be why you struggle to celebrate yourself now. Learning to acknowledge your own progress can heal deep-seated patterns of self-criticism.

In this week’s episode, we’re breaking down the common misconceptions around manifestation and why simply visualizing your dream life isn’t enough. While manifestation can be a powerful tool, it must be paired with action, self-awareness, and inner healing to create real, lasting change.

We’ll explore:
 - Why manifestation without action can lead to frustration
-  The dangers of excessive positive thinking and spiritual bypassing
-  How unresolved emotional wounds can block your manifestations
 - The balance between mindset, psychology, and real-world action

If you’ve ever felt like manifestation "isn’t working" for you, this episode will help you understand why—and what you can do instead to create real transformation.
