When I began looking for how to shape this 200th episode of SelfWork, I wanted to share my own major self-doubts about creating SelfWork. Was I truly an expert? What if I made mistakes? But that wasn't the worst. There was one more that was even stronger... so I turned to the wisdom of Maya Angelou for some help. And I received it from her - and will share it today with you.

We\u2019re going to talk about confronting self-doubt. We all have insecurities; even the people that don\u2019t look like they do \u2013 do. But why does self-doubt stop some people and not others? What gives self-doubt power?

But today is also about celebrating 200 episodes of SelfWork, as I had to conquer my own substantial self-doubt to begin. Several of you sent in recordings and emails telling me what SelfWork has meant to you, and I will include a couple of them. You were kind and oh so generous. I also have an amazing team to thank - there are really no words to say how much each of them means to me. Their talents make SelfWork what is has become. And their talents and your presence will help it to grow into something even stronger and better.

But let\u2019s get to the topic of confronting self-doubt in this episode sponsored by BetterHelp \u2013 and what can be the result. And then we\u2019ll celebrate!
