🌼 When Self-Doubt Has Deep Roots
Welcome to this Start Fresh mini from the Om WOW Podcast! Let’s reset our mindset and start the week with clarity and intention.
Listen to the short episode:
Episode #36: Show Notes
I realized Saturday night just before bedtime… that I didn’t actually record today’s mini. Which is incredibly out of character for me. I’m super organized and normally very responsible.
And I wondered for a moment if me “forgetting” might have been an unconscious self-sabotage.
You see, I spent the last 4 days deep into business planning for growth and expansion. Something I’m learning that there’s still a piece of me somewhere inside that has a problem! Some little part of me must be scared of going after incredible things.
During business planning last week, I looked up some podcast stats, to see how I’m doing. I was incredibly surprised to learn that as soon as I released my 10th episode, I surpassed more than half of the people who start a podcast. And I had been just working on plans for episode #50, and wondered how many podcasts make it that far. Turns out, less than 9%.
And I was thinking to myself— holy moly! Here I am. I’m doing it! And then, mysteriously… I almost broke my consistent posting schedule? Hmm. Convenient, don’t you think?
So, When I gave myself grace and said, let’s find a good early episode that some of our friends might have missed, and the most appropriate one jumped out at me. Today on the show you’re hearing a loving rerun of episode #9.
I hope you enjoy it, and I thank you for the grace of embracing me as your host as I am, because there is no “perfect” anyway. It doesn’t exist.
Your Challenge This Week
If you recognize that a part of YOU might have sabotaged you, give yourself grace. I think I actually smiled, and said, “Ok— lesson received!
Have a fantastic week, and we'll see you next time.
***This audio was a rerun of episode #9— full resources and sources mentioned are here in the show notes for that episode.

Meet Our Host: Jennifer Robin O’Keefe
Jennifer Robin is always searching for the next thing that might help: the book, the practice, the reframe you didn't know existed but turns out to be exactly what you needed.
Through conversations with experts, authors, and everyday humans, along with personal reflection, Jennifer focuses on bridging the gap between "woo" and practical, accessible self-support. Her work is rooted in the belief that wellness is not about fixing yourself, but about remembering your worth and finding what genuinely works for you.
She has spent decades exploring personal growth, energy healing, and mind-body wellness. She's trained in EFT Tapping and coaching, tools she often references in her conversations. She's not positioning herself as an expert who has it all figured out. She approaches her work with humility, curiosity, and deep respect for individual experience.
Jennifer is a lifelong learner who cherishes books and notebooks. She loves diving into research and sharing what she learns in a way that feels relatable, compassionate, and pressure-free. These conversations are an invitation: to ask your own questions, gather perspectives that resonate, and build a life that actually feels good to you.
