Worthiness is a bit of a challenging concept to consider. The more important aspect of it is deciding if you are or aren't worthy, and how we go about managing that feeling state either way. Alway busy doing things, always fishing for compliments? Or doing what's valuable and feeling that value within ourselves?

What is Leadership and how is it different from management?  Why does it matter, what is it for and how does it become a thing we see in the world and within us?

Why do we experience it and how did it even become a thing for us? If we can say shame is effectively pain, where that pain comes from and how we choose to deal with that can make us even more shamed, or dramatically healthier.

What is the real difference between confidence and arrogance, really? is it words used, the energy they're said with, or the perspective it's seen from?

When we make a decision to move on from an old relationship, what goes on that this decision isn't as permanent as we intended? Old patterns, familiarities and comfort, insecurities and the concern that we won't find anyone else all play a role, but is knowing about these things enough to make sense of why we still go back to a situation that doesn't serve us?

What does hypermasculinity mean? The framing of us to ourselves, and how others interpret this, is core to how we make meaning. How we see us, the world, everyone else, wookies, is dependent on our frame of reference and how we apply it. So, how you see things and how you act accordingly are intrinsically linked.

When we consider our grown, we start to appreciate that we have realigned our priorities and what we value. Reflecting on how and why those things have changed, and what we look for when it comes to people and scenarios needs some reconsidering and realigning too. 

The idea of intuition can be a little difficult to explain, let alone experience on an understandable level. If you have felt it, describing it to those who haven't can be... weird. Why do some experience it and others don't? Are they special, or just more aligned to different things in different ways?

Today we talk with Liam, about his journey through not just his own challenging path, but how he stepped through someone else's too. How walking those paths all the way through made him stronger, strong enough to help others walk theirs.

How we see and experience ourselves is of the highest importance when it comes to mental health, but considering how other people perceive us is also valuable. Which is more important to us, and how much we lean one way or the other, has the capacity to trigger thoughts and feelings and consequences that can have huge impact our mental state.
