Do you believe you don't deserve happiness? Many of us carry guilt, shame, or unworthiness that blocks our joy and inner peace. 

In this episode, you’ll discover how these feelings arise from deeper beliefs such as "I'm a bad person" or "I'm not good enough." These beliefs stem from experiences where we felt unloved or unworthy.

You’ll learn how these complex beliefs were formed in childhood and are now rooted in your Inner Child — a part of your mind that holds onto these negative beliefs.

To break free, you must question these beliefs. Ask yourself: Why do I believe I'm not good enough? This self-inquiry often reveals that these beliefs are not based on truth but on past experiences.

You must also accept that we all have innate worth and value. It's not something given by others but something you are born with. Accepting this truth is key to overcoming self-sabotage and embracing happiness.

With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).
