Becoming Unapologetically Me is the podcast for people who know there is more stuck inside them and they want to find a way to release it.

David Redbord, MA, MPH is a #1 International Bestselling author on trauma, a self-worth coach, and a practicing therapist in Boulder, Colorado. He has created a step-by-step framework to help folks improve their self-worth by knowing themselves better, connecting with others, practicing self-compassion, and living in integrity. David has been doing his own inner work for more than 10 years and supports others in showing up as their most authentic selves by stepping into more presence and connection.

In this episode we discuss many elements of SELF but reflecting on the fact that it is always self-worth that sits at the core of this. David works extensively in the links between trauma and self-worth and the embodiment of healthy feelings.

Starting from a childhood rife with criticism and correction, David found a sense of never being able to do the right thing and eventually internalised that as him not being good enough and in some way inherently bad. We know that there is no such thing as a “bad” person at birth so it is always deeply saddening to hear of yet another child who forms this belief.

Although growing up with the cultural lens to avoid and suppress emotions, thankfully David found the way to truly embody and become present with his emotions. By setting aside time to feel and express your emotions, then the trauma WILL move through your body, but it needs to have the chance to be seen, felt and expressed without judgement and censorship.


Key Takeaways

  • The Wound is the place where the Light enters you - Rumi
  • When we put on the mask and not show emotion, in order to keep ourselves safe, we create disconnection
  • When you are fighting what is here, now; you can never move forwards
  • So often we show up in life in the roles of the drama triangle: the victim, the persecutor or the rescuer
  • Connection concretely improves self-worth. We disconnect when we feel shame but the tribe is so healing.
