    80. Breaking Low Self Belief with David Francis

    This podcast episode featured a conversation between Jacky and David Francis, a self-confidence coach from the northeast of England, discussing David's journey from experiencing low self-belief and burnout to building unshakable self-confidence. David shared how he transitioned from being a high-potential underachiever to an overachiever, eventually realizing that his external achievements weren't addressing internal issues. He discussed key turning points, including a breakdown 20+ years ago, his realization that he could practice skills like he would practice music, and his eventual understanding of inherent worthiness. David explained how he helps clients by focusing on practical daily practices, including journaling about self-respect actions, recording daily wins, and consistently stepping outside comfort zones. The conversation concluded with David reflecting on his next level of healing, which involves being kinder to himself and learning to rest rather than constantly doing more.
