    The 5 Realms of Self-Worth — Why Feeling “Enough” Changes Everything

    Self-worth is the operating system running your relationships, career, stress, sex life—even your biology. Update it and everything upgrades. Self-worth ≠ self-esteem. Dr. John maps 5 realms that shape love, success, health, and meaning—plus simple practices to feel enough now. Self-worth isn’t a warm fuzzy—it’s the master switch for how you love, lead, and live. In this episode, Dr. John breaks down The 5 Realms of Self-Worth — Inner, Relational, Achievement, Embodied, and Existential—and shows why chasing self-esteem (external approval) keeps you stuck while building self-worth (inherent value) sets you free. Expect science, stories, irreverence, and real-world practices men actually use. You’ll learn:  The clean split between self-esteem (weather) and self-worth (climate)  How self-worth changes your nervous system, not just your mood  Why achievement-based value leads to burnout—and what to do instead  Repair > defend: the 30-second reset that deepens connection  Two micro-practices that start rewiring “not enough” today Perfect for: high-performing men, partners who love them, and anyone tired of hustling for approval.  03:10 Self-esteem ≠ self-worth (and why that matters)  07:20 Realm 1—Inner: upgrading the voice in your head  14:05 Realm 2—Relational: love, boundaries, repair  20:40 Realm 3—Achievement: worth beyond output  27:15 Realm 4—Embodied: your body’s self-worth story  33:30 Realm 5—Existential: meaning, purpose, service  40:00 Close: one realm up, all realms rise If this hits home, share it with a guy who’s crushing goals but starving for “enoughness.” Connect Like An Evolved Caveman:  TheEvolvedCaveman.com  GuideToSelf.com

    Increasing Your Self-Worth: The Key to True Happiness and Success

    In this high-energy episode, Dr. John dives illuminates the differences between self-worth, self-esteem, and self-confidence. Why is this so important? Discover why some men have been incredibly successful yet (often) still feel lousy about themselves. This is the critical difference between self-worth and self-esteem. Self-esteem is built from the outside in (i.e., compliments from others, likes on social media, and external recognition). Self-worth is infinitely more powerful and is built from the inside out (i.e., acting based upon your values and praising yourself when you are doing so). Find out why the difference is life-changing in terms of your happiness, and thus, your success. Brace yourself for metaphors, personal anecdotes, and actionable advice to silence your inner critic, set boundaries, and track your wins. Tune in for 5 steps you can take to improve your self-worth so you can thrive like never before! 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:24 The Importance of Self-Worth 02:32 What Is Self-Worth?
