Welcome to A Slice of Empathy – a space where a 30-something navigating the ups and downs of life shares honest conversations about marriage, family relationships, work/life balance, and mental and physical health. I’m not an expert, just someone learning as I go, and I’ve come to realize that the idea of ”having it all together” is neither realistic nor relatable.
This podcast is about embracing life’s imperfections and learning how to live more intentionally, without limitations, as we grow and support each other. Through sharing our struggles and experiences, we can create a sense of connection and remind each other that we’re not alone on this journey.
Breathe, Plan, Reclaim: Overcoming the ‘Not Good Enough’ Core Belief
In this episode, counselor and author Sabrina Trobak explores how core beliefs like "not good enough" form, how they fuel anxiety and unhealthy patterns, and why awareness is the first step to change.
She shares practical strategies—breathing exercises, concrete planning, and relationship tools—to build confidence, reframe thoughts, and develop a lasting sense of being good enough, important, and valued.
