Send us a text In this episode, we’re diving into a hard truth that so many high achievers face but rarely talk about—shame-based achievement. Why do we chase success and still feel empty when we get it? Why does the high from accomplishment fade so quickly, leaving us feeling even more inadequate? The truth is that many high achievers are driven not by passion, but by fear—fear of being unworthy, fear of failure, fear of rejection. Today, we are breaking down the cycle of shame-based achievement and how it creates burnout, emotional numbness, and the constant feeling of "not enough." More importantly, I’m sharing how you can break free from it. You’ll learn how to stop defining your self-worth by your achievements, start building intrinsic motivation, and redefine success in a way that feels authentic and sustainable. If you’ve ever felt like you’re only as good as your last win—or that you have to keep achieving just to feel safe—this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why so many high achievers are driven by shame and fear rather than passion The cycle of shame-based achievement—and why success never feels like enough How trauma and perfectionism wire us for overachievement and burnout How to redefine success in a way that feels authentic and sustainable Why self-compassion and emotional safety are the keys to true motivation Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 03:45 How perfectionism and shame create unhealthy success patterns 06:10 The Hidden Cost of Shame-Based Achievement – Why success feels hollow and unfulfilling 10:59 Success as a Survival Strategy – How trauma and childhood experiences wire us for overachievement 14:50 The Shame-Achievement Loop – Why we keep chasing the next goal and still feel empty 20:31 How to Stop the Cycle – Practical steps to shift from external validation to intrinsic motivation 24:53 Redefining Success – What a meaningful and sustainable life actually looks like 32:30 Building Self-Compassion – How to quiet the inner critic and create emotional safety 37:40 Creating New Rhythms – Why rest and recovery are essential for high performance 43:49 Letting Go of the Old Story - Why success will never heal you—and what will I am grateful you are here, Jerry Setup Your FREE Strategy Call: Schedule Call Website: www.jerryhenderson.org 🔗 Access the course "Learning How to Love Yourself" here: Access Course How is your relationship with yourself going?

Send us a text In this episode of the Permission to Love Podcast , we continue the Resilient by Design series, focusing on three essential cognitive tools to help you build resilience, reframe stress, and create a healthier relationship with yourself. Stress can often feel overwhelming, but in this episode we look at the research-backed strategies that demonstrate how reframing stress and shifting our mindset can unlock personal growth and empowerment. You will learn how to: Use the ABC model (Activating Event, Belief, Consequence) to identify and transform stress triggers. Develop a growth mindset through small, achievable goals and consistent celebration of progress. Rewire outdated schemas and limiting beliefs with positive self-talk to build confidence and resilience. This episode is packed with actionable insights, stories, and research-based techniques to help you stop surviving and start thriving. Key Takeaways: Reframing Stress: Stress is not inherently bad; how we interpret it determines its impact. Research by Lazarus and Folkman shows that appraising stress as a challenge (rather than a threat) leads to motivation and empowerment. The ABC model: Identify the Activating Event, the Belief about the event, and the Consequence. Shift the belief to change the outcome. The Growth Mindset: A fixed mindset limits potential, while a growth mindset encourages adaptability and learning. Incremental goals and small wins build momentum. Celebrating progress rewires the brain for optimism and resilience. Positive Self-Talk: Inner dialogue shapes how we view ourselves and the world. Negative schemas, rooted in past experiences, can trap us in outdated narratives. Neuroscience shows positive self-talk strengthens neural pathways linked to optimism and resilience. Actionable Challenge: Pick one cognitive tool—reframing stress, developing a growth mindset, or practicing positive self-talk—and commit to using it this week.

How to Create Positive Emotions | Resilient by Design 38:12

Send us a text In this episode, we dive into practical tools to access positive emotions and build emotional resilience—your ability to adapt to adversity and stay aligned with the life you want to create. Learn how emotions serve as a compass, guiding you toward meaningful actions, and discover actionable strategies to manage negative emotions, elicit positive ones, and break the cycles of self-sabotage. Drawing from research on the brain's approach and avoidance systems, we unpack how your emotional responses shape your behaviors and beliefs. This episode is packed with insights to help you develop a positive emotional toolkit that empowers you to navigate challenges, regulate stress, and move toward thriving. Key Takeaways: Emotions Are a Compass: Emotions guide us toward what matters most in life. Instead of resisting them, use them to identify areas needing action or reflection. Dual Role of the Brain: The right hemisphere activates avoidance (fear and fight-or-flight), while the left hemisphere focuses on approach (reward and curiosity). Recognizing these systems helps us navigate emotions more effectively. Self-Sabotage Explained: Your brain aligns behaviors with your core beliefs. Limiting beliefs often lead to self-sabotage because they feel "safe" and familiar. Emotional Toolkit: Build resilience by incorporating daily practices like humor, savoring positive memories, music, and acts of service. Positive Emotions Expand Capacity: Research shows that positive emotions enhance problem-solving, connection, and resilience (Fredrickson, 2001). Practical Tools: Humor and Laughter: Engage with content or people that make you laugh to release feel-good chemicals. Savoring Memories: Recall joyful experiences and visualize them vividly to access positive emotions. Create a “Happy Button”: Associate a physical touchpoint with positive emotions to activate them in stressful moments. Use Music and Nature: Play uplifting songs or spend time in nature to calm your nervous system and elicit joy. Acts of Kindness: Helping others not only benefits them but also boosts your own well-being.

Send us a text In this episode of the “Resilient by Design” series, we explore what emotional resilience really is and why it’s essential for overcoming challenges and staying aligned with our personal goals and values. We examine research-backed strategies for developing emotional awareness, practicing self-compassion, engaging in mindfulness, and cultivating a supportive community—“emotional spotters”—to help us handle life’s ups and downs. We also address how trauma can make it more difficult to trust safe relationships or fully engage with mindfulness, and we look at practical ways to overcome these hurdles in a trauma-informed way. Remember, resilience is a learned skill—just like a muscle—and even small increments of growth are worth celebrating.

Drawing on research, neuropsychology, and personal insights, we discuss how resilience isn’t about being unshakable but about adapting to life's challenges. Learn how survival resilience differs from thriving resilience, why self-compassion is crucial in building resilience, and how trauma affects our brains and behaviors.

Trauma survivors often excel at survival resilience but may need tools to transition to thriving resilience. Self-compassion is vital for building resilience and overcoming self-judgment. Connection with others is a cornerstone of resilience. The brain’s neuroplasticity allows us to rewire and strengthen resilience through consistent effort and support.
