Episode 670: Lesson 9 on Radical Self-Acceptance: How To Stop Fixing Yourself And Come Home To Who You Are
Today's lesson is radical self-acceptance, how to stop fixing yourself, and finally come home to who you are. Why did I choose this as one of the 10 topics? In my nearly 20 years of coaching women, self-acceptance comes up again and again. It’s a pattern I see so often. If you're in a transformational period, doing deep work, chasing self-improvement, and still not feeling like you’re enough... you're not alone. That push to grow while still feeling unworthy? That’s exactly why this topic matters.
If you're someone who keeps chasing the next thing, thinking that will finally fix you or make you feel complete, and it’s still not landing, this is the episode I really want you to hear. To make this easy to follow and offer some reflection, I'm breaking the episode into five powerful parts, including the truth about why this is so hard and why it’s something we tend to circle back to again and again in our personal growth journey.
Of course there is a worksheet for this episode! Download it at http://andreaowen.com/670
What you’ll hear about in this episode:
What the Hell Is Radical Self-Acceptance? It’s not about loving everything, but seeing yourself fully, without judgment or sugarcoating.
Why It’s So Damn Hard: Cultural and generational messaging to be smaller and quieter, internalized shame from decades of shape-shifting, and the fear that self-acceptance means becoming stagnant.
The Wisdom of Your Inner Child: How unmet needs and childhood wounds shape perfectionism and people-pleasing, and why re-parenting in small, present ways leads to true healing
Embodied Wisdom—Learning to Trust Your Body's Intelligence: Relearning how to trust your body’s intelligence, notice somatic cues, and practice self-acceptance through breathwork, rest, and nervous system care
How to Actually Practice Radical Self-Acceptance: Shift your inner dialogue, build safety through compassion, and give yourself permission to be messy, soft, and worthy.
