Show Notes:
Self-concept is who you are, how you feel, and how you act in the world. It helps shape your daily life and plays a major role in your lived experience. In today’s episode, I explain how your self-concept contributes to your overall happiness, how to identify positive and negative self-concept, and dive into my go-to ways to understand how it’s showing up in your life.
What does your inner-voice sound like? Is it kind or critical? Is it forgiving or harsh? The narrative that you hold about who you are creates how you feel about yourself, and what you’re feeling dictates the actions that you take. Just as humans are multidimensional, so is the idea of self-concept. How you perceive your performance in your job is different from how you feel about yourself as a partner, friend, sibling, and so on.
The key to finding more happiness within your self-concept starts with tuning into that voice and understanding where your beliefs come from. I go through some tools that I find helpful for discovering and dismantling thoughts and beliefs. Listen in to learn more about self-concept and ways that you can start shifting it right now.

About Your Host
I’m Cecelia, and I am passionate about helping people live the life they want to live and feel how they want to feel in their life. We do this together using mindset tools, nervous system regulation, and curious inquiry. I know that enjoying your life, feeling calm and even joyful is available to you.
If you’re ready to start right now, grab a recent workshop replay here on creating momentum.
Personally, I manifest in many ways- partner, mother, coach, sister, friend, daughter, citizen, feminist. I live with my husband and children way downeast Maine on a little bridge-connected island (after spending my first 35 years in cities). It’s beautiful here with the ocean and the wind.
I help my clients make big and small changes in life one step at a time.
No matter what’s happening in your life right now, I know you can feel different. I know that by working with your brain and nervous system, you can feel calm, content, joyful, AND you can still go after the big and small goals in your life (getting there will just feel different).
This process is simple and approachable.
You’re probably thinking- but it won’t work for me. I’ve tried it all or I was recently diagnosed with ADHD or I’m too old. But I promise, if you’re open to it, this work is not only transformative but suited for so many different kinds of people and brains.
