Episode #177 The Story You Keep Telling Yourself

Overview

Do you have a voice in your head telling you that you aren't capable or ready to grow your public health business? In this episode of Public Health Entrepreneurs, Dr. Charlotte H. Huntley dives into the internal stories we tell ourselves and how they directly impact the way we show up and what we are willing to try. If you struggle with limiting beliefs or self-doubt when it comes to things like raising your rates or reaching out to potential clients, this episode provides actionable steps to overcome those mental roadblocks. Tune in to discover three practical strategies to identify, challenge, and replace the false narratives that are holding you back from your true potential.

Takeaways

• Identify the belief holding you back: Pay close attention to the specific thoughts that arise when you think about stepping out of your comfort zone, like raising your rates, and start journaling them so you can actively do something about it.

• Examine the origin of your doubts: Ask yourself how long you have carried a specific limiting belief and where it actually came from.

• Challenge your beliefs with facts: Write down at least three concrete examples that contradict your negative story, as most of our self-doubt simply does not hold up against factual evidence.

• Keep your evidence visible: Place reminders of your capabilities, such as your degrees, certifications, or glowing client testimonials, right in front of your workspace to combat moments of doubt when they creep in.

• Rewrite your internal narrative: Replace your limiting stories with positive, truthful statements and read them at the start of your workday until they begin to feel true.
