Episode 54 – Stop Doubting Your Value
I Am Self-ish Podcast
In this episode of the I Am Self-ish podcast, host Will Wright is joined by coach and consultant Chris Donohoe for a powerful conversation about self-worth, value recognition, and building a life and business rooted in truth rather than fear.
Will and Chris explore how self-doubt and imposter syndrome quietly keep capable professionals underpaid and overextended.
They talk about the emotional work required to let go of past identities, the grief that often accompanies growth, and the mindset shifts needed to unlock both confidence and financial independence. The conversation highlights the reality that judgment is unavoidable, and that grounding yourself in what you know to be true is essential for sustainable growth.
Chris shares his mission to help independent professionals build profitable businesses fueled by purpose. He speaks openly about building his own two point five million dollar coaching and consulting business one brick at a time, and how that same intentional approach is what he teaches his clients. From Wall Street to Main Street, Chris has worked with designers, researchers, engineers, consultants, architects, educators, and countless other professionals who want to do work they love while earning enough to support their lives and futures.
Together, Will and Chris discuss emotional capacity, self-validation, and why confidence is not about performance but about reality. They unpack how coaching can help individuals interpret feedback without internalizing it as failure, and how independence often requires choosing yourself even when fear and uncertainty are present.
This episode is an invitation to stop outsourcing your worth, release outdated versions of yourself, and lead from clarity instead of comparison.
