Ep 39: Healing the Inner ‘Not Enough’: with Karen Bartholomew
Ep 39: Healing the Inner ‘Not Enough’: with Karen Bartholomew
What if the voice that keeps telling you you’re not enough is actually just a story you picked up years ago — and you’ve been proving it right ever since?
In this conversation, Emily sits down with Karen Bartholomew, founder of the Pause Method, to explore how high-achievers and leaders can shift out of fear, people-pleasing, and survival strategies — and step into safety, clarity, and their most authentic leadership.
Karen shares her personal journey of transformation, why nervous system regulation is the foundation of sustainable success, and how the lies we tell ourselves keep us in cycles of exhaustion. Together, we explore how to slow down, reframe old stories, and reclaim the truth of being already worthy.
