In this episode of the Wellness Empowerment Project, Julie interviews Christina Coleman, a transformational life coach and Air Force veteran, about her journey to self-acceptance and the crucial role of worthiness. Christina speaks about her early desire to be a life coach, the challenges and rejections she faced, and struggling with unworthiness in the military and her personal life. Her pivotal moments of self-revelation came through confronting abusive relationships and professional stagnation. Christina underscores the importance of distinguishing between self-worth and confidence, recognizing patterns of unworthiness, and undertaking the deep inner work necessary to heal. She emphasizes the necessity of examining the roots of these feelings, typically formed in childhood, and their manifestation in adult behaviors, such as comparing oneself to others or experiencing imposter syndrome. With insights into overcoming self-criticism and fostering inner dialogue, Christina's story is a powerful testament to the transformation that can occur through recognizing and affirming one's inherent worthiness.
