    62. Is Self-Sabotage Actually Self-Protection with Psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman

    What if the very thing you call self-sabotage is actually your mind trying to protect you? In this episode of the Inner Self-Confidence Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Rachel Goldman, a nationally recognised clinical psychologist, author, speaker, and Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Dr. Rachel is an expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), stress management, burnout, and behaviour change. She's shared the stage with Oprah, appeared on The Mel Robbins Podcast, and been featured in TIME, CNN, The New York Times, Women's Health, and many more. She's also the author of When Life Happens: The Mindset Shift You Need to Manage Stress, Build Confidence, and Break Free. Together, we explore why so many capable, successful women feel stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves, even when everything looks perfectly fine on the outside. In this episode, we explore: Why feeling stuck isn't always about a lack of motivationWhether self-sabotage is actually a form of self-protectionWhy knowing what to do and actually doing it are two very different thingsThe difference between healthy mindset shifts and toxic positivityWhy women struggle to put themselves first and how this contributes to burnoutHow to rebuild self-confidence after setbacks and major life changesWhy disappointing others can feel more frightening than disappointing ourselvesHow to start moving forward BEFORE you feel readyBecause life isn't always going to go according to plan. People will disappoint us. Things will fall apart. And sometimes the life we worked so hard to build no longer feels like the life we want. The goal isn't to control everything that happens to us. It's to build the confidence to navigate whatever life throws our way. If you've been waiting for the perfect moment, more clarity, or someone else's permission to make a change, this conversation is for you. CONNECT WITH DR.

    61. What Do Cornell 7, Sydney Sweeney & Lindsay Clancy Have in Common? With Psychologist Ilia Poznak

    They've become symbols. Symbols we use to debate gender, morality, mental health, victimhood, accountability and who we believe is good or evil. In Episode 61 of the Inner Self-Confidence Podcast, I'm joined by registered psychologist and certified executive coach Ilia Poznak for a conversation about something I think we're rapidly losing: our ability to sit in the grey I recently connected with Ilia on Instagram after being drawn to his willingness to talk about subjects many people shy away from — questioning popular narratives, exploring uncomfortable perspectives and bringing nuance back into conversations that increasingly demand we pick a side. We get into moral typecasting and why our brains want heroes and villains. We talk about virtue signalling, social media, group identity, moral judgement and what happens when a human being becomes a symbol for an entire social issue. We also explore the growing divide between men and women. Are women being taught that men are dangerous while men are being taught that women hate or manipulate them? Can we believe and support victims without turning allegations into internet entertainment? Can we talk about mental illness without removing accountability? Can we condemn someone's behaviour without completely dehumanising them? Can empathy and accountability exist at the same time? And perhaps the question underneath this entire conversation: Are we becoming so determined to prove that we're on the “right” side that we're losing our ability to see each other's humanity? This conversation isn't about telling you what to think. It's about asking whether we're still willing to think for ourselves. 🎙️ IN THIS EPISODE: • Moral typecasting and our need for heroes and villains • The psychology of “good vs. evil” • Virtue signalling and online morality • Why nuance feels increasingly difficult online • Social media, algorithms and groupthink • The growing divide between men and women • Empathy vs. accountability • Why understanding behaviour isn't the same as excusing it • What happens when people become symbols instead of human beings • How to stay curious when something challenges what you believe CONNECT WITH ILIA POZNAK Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ilia.the.psych/ Website / 1UP Coaching: https://1upcoach.com/about CONNECT WITH KATIE Website: https://www.katiedelimon.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiedelimon/ 🔥 My memoir — Trust the Flames: https://www.katiedelimon.com/trust-the-flames 🧠 Download FREE Nervous System Toolkit: https://www.katiedelimon.com/toolkit ✨ Nervous System Reboot https://www.katiedelimon.com/nervous-system-reboot

    60.Break The Cycle Before It Breaks You, with Author & Coach, Priscilla Gutiérrez

    I sit down with Priscilla — author, activist, coach and self-described cycle breaker — for a raw and honest conversation about childhood trauma, domestic violence, the systems surrounding survivors, and what it actually takes to break a cycle before it breaks you. Priscilla survived childhood sexual abuse by her grandfather and later found herself in a domestic violence relationship. She went on to study law, but ultimately chose not to practise after questioning the very systems that are supposed to protect vulnerable people. We also have an important conversation about modern psychology and therapy. Priscilla shares her own experiences of seeking professional support and, at times, feeling unsupported and further traumatised by the people and systems she turned to for help. We talk about survival mode, shame, self-trust, finding your voice, recognising the less obvious signs of abuse, and the difference between surviving your past and actually creating a life beyond it. And perhaps most importantly: Are generational cycles broken in one huge courageous moment — or through thousands of tiny choices we make differently every single day? Because being a cycle breaker isn't about pretending the past didn't happen. It's deciding: it ends with me. IN THIS EPISODE: • Childhood sexual trauma and its impact into adulthood • Domestic violence and the red flags we often don't recognise • Why survivors can blame themselves • When therapy causes more harm instead of healing • The limitations of our legal and mental-health systems • Rebuilding self-trust after trauma • Finding your voice after years of silence • Breaking generational patterns • Turning pain into purpose CONNECT WITH PRISCILLA Instagram: @cyclebreakercoach https://www.instagram.com/cyclebreakercoach/ Website + Resources: https://bio.site/cyclebreakercoach HER BOOK: Break the Cycle Before it Breaks You:Unlock the Mindset That Sets You Free CONNECT WITH KATIE Website: https://www.katiedelimon.com/ Instagram: @katiedelimon https://instagram.com/katiedelimon 🔥 Order my memoir, Trust the Flames: My Wild Ride from Mindlessness to Mindfulness: https://www.katiedelimon.com/trust-the-flames 🧠 Download my FREE Nervous System Toolkit: https://www.katiedelimon.com/toolkit ✨ Nervous System Reboot — my self-paced course to help you understand and regulate your nervous system: https://www.katiedelimon.com/nervous-system-reboot
