Dirty Chai with Chio Podcast Demystifying career success.

We've all encountered shame and will likely encounter it again in the future. Instead of ignoring this aspect of life, it's crucial to acknowledge and normalize it. This approach enables us to manage shame constructively, foster connections with others, and emerge from challenging experiences with our self-esteem preserved. You will recall the podcast episode in which I explained that your self-worth is guaranteed and your self-esteem is your perception of your worth and that can be high or low or otherwise waiver according to the strength of your relationship with yourself. When you feel shame, for example, you feel less worthy but your actual worth has not changed. It is also important to recognise that shame often is also a master at disguising itself as other things or emotions. It can present as concern, anger, fear of what people will say, guilt, fear of disappointing God, feeling deserving of punishment from God, or defensiveness.

Hello hi. Welcome to our coffee date. Today we continue the Crafting an Unforgettable Presence series. Walking through Charles Bukowski's story we gingerly navigate some of the darker aspects of the journey to success and distinguish holistic success from financial success. It’s such a difficult story to tell. It also has a lot of uncomfortable and necessary lessons to teach. Lessons that are foundational pieces in crafting an unforgettable presence.
