Struggling to forgive yourself? You’re not alone. Many of us stay trapped in perfectionism, shame, and ongoing self-punishment — and it quietly destroys our confidence.
In this episode of Girl, Choose Yourself!, Eimear Zone explores how to forgive yourself and why self-forgiveness is essential for building authentic confidence. You’ll learn why we get stuck in cycles of self-blame, how perfectionism becomes self-abandonment, and what it takes to finally reconnect with yourself.
Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:
- Why forgiving yourself feels so hard (and the beliefs that keep you stuck).
- How ongoing self-punishment erodes confidence and blocks connection.
- A 3-step practice for overcoming perfectionism and softening your inner critic.
- Why true confidence is impossible without forgiveness.
As poet Danna Faulds writes: “Do you value your reasons for staying small more than the light shining through the open door? Forgive yourself. Perfection is not a prerequisite for anything but pain.”
This isn’t about letting yourself off the hook — it’s about letting yourself back into your own heart. Listen now to start releasing self-blame and building the confidence you’ve been craving.
