In this transformative episode of Coached Soul, Dr. Steve Hudgins and Kenya Evelyn explore what it really means to stop proving and start being.

Through heartfelt stories and deep reflection, they reveal how the relentless pursuit of approval and achievement keeps us disconnected from our true selves. Together, Dr. Steve and Kenya discuss how healing begins when we release the pressure of performance, honor our stories, and choose presence over perfection.

You’ll discover:

• How self-doubt and perfectionism block emotional healing
  
• Why your worth is not defined by achievements or validation
  
• How to recognize unconscious programming that fuels over-performance
  
• The power of awareness, acceptance, and spiritual wholeness
  
• Why healing sometimes feels like push-ups for the soul and how to keep going
  

This episode invites you to pause, breathe, and embrace who you already are. Whether you’re struggling with self-image, chasing validation, or seeking peace after burnout, you’ll find clarity, compassion, and courage in this conversation.

🎧 Listen now to rediscover your identity, heal from self-doubt, and live from a place of wholeness - not performance.
