Do Not Disturb · A podcast about motherhood
Roxie Nafousi:
Self-worth beyond being liked
Roxie on addiction, becoming a mother and building confidence when you are used to looking for approval.
The Do Not Disturb edit
Three things to take with you.
Three ideas from the conversation, in our words.
Do
Protect a small daily reset that helps you return to yourself.
Not
Measure your worth by whether everybody likes you.
Disturb
The belief that confidence is a trait you either have or do not.
Who are you when you stop trying to be liked?
Roxie and Simona talk about recovery, motherhood and the work behind the public idea of transformation. Roxie discusses confidence and the routines that help her return to herself.
They also get into manifestation: what Roxie means by it, and how it connects to the choices she makes in everyday life.
What comes up
- Addiction and recovery
- Motherhood and self-worth
- Confidence beyond other people’s approval
