We’re bringing back one of our all-time favorite episodes this week. If you’ve ever struggled with self doubt or felt uncertain about your purpose, this one’s going to stick with you.

In this conversation, we’re joined by sober motivational speakers Jacob Brown and Martin Lockett, along with the always powerful voice of Through the Glass regular, Molly. Together, we explore how self doubt creeps in, how it holds us back, and how we can move through it with courage, clarity, and community.

You’ll hear stories of facing fear, letting go of old narratives, and learning to live in alignment with personal values. We talk about what it means to define purpose, how to connect with your own "why," and why having support around you matters so much.

If you’ve ever told yourself you’re not ready, not good enough, or not qualified, this episode is your reminder that those thoughts are just part of the process. You’re not alone, and you’re not stuck.

A few of the topics we cover:

• Recognizing how self doubt and impostor syndrome show up

• Giving yourself permission to try

• Living by your values instead of fear

• The power of positive self talk and affirmations

• Why vulnerability and connection are key to finding purpose

• Speaking your goals into reality

• The Japanese concept of Ikigai

• Letting go of who you think you’re supposed to be, so you can become who you are

One of our favorite quotes from this episode:“Self doubt and impostor syndrome only come right before something amazing is about to happen.” – Jacob Brown

This re-release is full of wisdom, heart, and powerful perspective shifts. We’re so excited to share it with you again.
