“I’m Not Good Enough” — Where It Comes From and How to Let It Go

A deeper exploration inspired by Episode #469 of Personal Development Unplugged

There’s a belief that sits quietly behind so many struggles:
I’m not good enough.
It’s one of those thoughts that feels like it’s always been there. It shapes the way we show up, the way we hold back, and the way we talk to ourselves when things get tough.

But here’s the truth: you weren’t born with that belief.
It came from somewhere. And if it was learned, it can be changed.

#469 “I’m Not Good Enough – Where’d That Go?”

In this deep-dive episode of Personal Development Unplugged, we go straight to the heart of that old familiar belief: “I’m not good enough.”
Where did it come from? Why does it stick? And more importantly… how the hell do we finally let it go?

Following on from FMQ 520, we go far deeper — unpacking the real intention behind that belief (yep, your unconscious mind is actually trying to protect you), the conflict it accidentally creates, and how to guide it toward a better way of keeping you safe.

And then… we do the thing.
A guided process — powerful, imaginative, and deeply integrative — designed to dissolve the old belief, honour the intention behind it, and install new, empowering beliefs that actually support you.

I’m Not Good Enough — Where Did That Even Come From?

The Big Lie: “I’m Not Good Enough”

This belief doesn’t arrive fully formed. It grows out of something smaller, something more specific — an old emotion, an early moment, a comment that hit too hard, or an experience that your unconscious mind misunderstood.

It might have started with:

A family member who said something careless.

A teacher who used shame instead of encouragement.

A group of kids who learned how to wound with words.

A moment where you felt embarrassed, scared, unseen or overwhelmed — and your unconscious mind tried to “protect” you by assuming something negative about you.

Talking’s Over — It’s Time to Change

How Focusing on “How You Want to Feel” Creates Real Transformation

For years now, I’ve watched people — clients, friends, listeners — do something that seems helpful on the surface but rarely creates actual change.

They talk.
They analyse.
They explain.
They go over the story again and again.

And I absolutely get it. Talking has its place. Sometimes a conversation unlocks a reframe, a little insight, or an “aha” moment. But when the issue is deeper, more emotional, or tangled in old unconscious patterns, talking alone rarely shifts anything. In fact, it often keeps you in the loop of the problem.

Because talking doesn’t always touch the unconscious mind — the place where these patterns were created in the first place.

In this FMQ, I share:
