“People follow you for a reason. They can mute you, they can unfollow. The people who are tuning into what you are saying are genuinely people who want to hear what you are saying, so that’s what I say to myself every time I feel vulnerable.”

Welcome everyone to this episode of In My Truth!

I have a guest today all the way from Perth, Australia: Eliza Hedley.

Eliza is another guest I know through the Aubrey Marcus Fit for Service program!

She is a holistic nutritionist and currently studying herbal medicine, which is her deep rooted passion.

But what is coming up for Eliza today?

Let’s dive into this conversation around self-worth, body image and relationships, our triggers for feeling unworthy, and how we work on accepting ourselves.

“It’s not me, it’s them!”

Join your host Sarah Riegelhuth as she’s joined by Eliza Hedley in this episode of In My Truth, as they dive into their journeys of self-worth in every facet, from dating to business.

“Who determines what’s good? Who determines what’s amazing? Who determines what is going to be valuable to people?”

Eliza and Sarah also get vulnerable with the stories they’re living with around:

being worthy of having a platform

expressing ourselves

feeling in our truth before and after hitting post on social media

nervousness of being on a podcast

getting out of our comfort zones

fear of not bringing anything to the table

exploring non-monogamy

breaking up with exes

going through repetitive struggle

getting used to being alone

missing having a partner

abandonment issues

changing family dynamics

being unworthy of love and attention

need for validation

feeling unworthy of having a family

having a Jesus Complex

attachment systems and attachment theory

being secure, anxious and/or avoidant

consistency

playing roles in relationships

expected gender roles

putting partners on pedestals

scarcity mindsets in relationships

encoded Disney Princess messages

online dating

“I can feel myself wanting to close. I’ve always been such an open-hearted person and I fall in love easily, but I can feel myself wanting to close and wanting to protect myself.”

“You were an expert role player but now the show is over and oh no, you have to be yourself 24/7!”

Remember you’re not alone, and there is hope, even though it may not feel that way at times. Talk to someone, a friend or family member and let them support you. Reach out to a professional. Do whatever you need to do to start your journey back to feeling good.
