Breaking the Habit of Unworthiness

Are you constantly ”racing through time,” feeling like you’re stuck in a whirlpool of overwhelm? You might tell yourself you just have bad time management, but the truth is often much deeper.
In this episode of The Story I’m Telling Myself, host Rita Ernst welcomes Coach Nadine Zeinoun to explore how your daily stress often serves as a mask for a narrative of unworthiness.
Nadine gets vulnerable, sharing her journey from living in ”victim mode”—where she blamed her schedule, her family, and external environments for her lack of progress—to the life-changing realization that she was actually self-sabotaging. She reveals how she used ”being busy” as a security blanket to avoid taking the risky steps necessary for true success.
In this episode, you will discover:
- The Overwhelm Mask: Why a lack of time management is often a symptom of the internal story that you are ”not good enough” or destined to fail.
- Excuses vs. Reality: How to use Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to differentiate between naming your true reality and falling into the ”trap” of limiting excuses.
- Physical Signals of Sabotage: How to recognize the weight in your chest and shoulders as a signal that your mindset is out of alignment.
- Breaking the Pattern: Practical strategies using self-talk, curiosity, and forgiveness to interrupt the habit of unworthiness and move back into a state of ”flow.”
- Character Strengths: How to leverage your unique strengths—such as kindness or perspective—to silence the ”inner judge” and extend grace to yourself.
Stop hiding behind your to-do list and start uncovering the ”jewels” that lie beneath your fears.
