333: Is Your Unconscious Making You Sick? Here’s How to Heal with Dr. Moshe

In this Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with psychologist and author Dr. Moshe Frenkel to unpack a powerful truth many high-achieving leaders quietly wrestle with: the belief that their worth is conditional. Together, they explore how the emotional stories we form in childhood shape the way we show up at work, in relationships, and in leadership.

Dr. Moshe shares a refreshing perspective on self-worth and the courage it takes to detach from limiting beliefs that no longer serve us. If you’ve ever felt like you needed to earn your value, this episode offers a liberating reframe.

Because here’s the truth: who you are is already enough.

Inside This Episode:

• Unconditional Self-Worth: Why your value is something you recognize rather than achieve. Dr. Moshe reframes the idea that we must prove our worth to feel loved, respected, or successful.
• The Childhood Blueprint: How early experiences of feeling unheard, unseen, or not fully loved shape the beliefs we carry into adulthood, leadership, and relationships.
• Conditional Love vs. Real Acceptance: The illusion many of us internalize—that love, approval, or belonging must be earned through performance.
• Limiting Beliefs in Leadership: How subconscious childhood narratives show up in the workplace as perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, and overachievement.
• Detach From Old Stories: Practical ways to identify and separate from the beliefs you absorbed growing up so they stop driving your adult decisions.
• Inner Healing as Leadership Work: Why self-awareness and emotional healing aren’t “soft skills”—they’re foundational leadership capabilities.
• Rewriting the Narrative: How recognizing your inherent worth can transform confidence, relationships, and the way you lead.
• From Proving to Being: What changes when leaders stop striving for validation and start operating from a place of internal security.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Leaders working to untangle their relationship with self-worth
• High achievers who feel the pressure to constantly prove themselves
• People navigating perfectionism, people-pleasing, or imposter syndrome
• Coaches, facilitators, and consultants who guide others through personal growth
• Humans ready to lead from authenticity rather than approval
