Low self-worth doesn’t always look like insecurity. Sometimes it looks like you saying yes when you want to scream no. It looks like staying in relationships that drain you, jobs that shrink you, and friendships where you’re the only one giving. It looks like apologizing for everything, needing ten people to approve your idea before you believe in it yourself, or obsessing over a post that didn’t get enough likes. And at the root of all of it? A quiet belief that you aren’t enough as you are.

Self-worth isn’t about feeling confident all the time. It’s about not letting your entire identity collapse when someone rejects you or when you mess up. It’s about knowing your value—even when you're not being productive, praised, or perfect.

This episode dismantles the passive self-help fluff and breaks down the four most common signs of low self-worth: people-pleasing, settling, perfectionism, and the comparison trap. But more importantly, it offers actual strategies to rebuild the relationship you have with yourself. We’re talking inner child work, boundary-building that doesn’t require guilt, cognitive rewiring for perfectionists, and a full detox plan from social media envy.

Because if you’re tired of being exhausted by your own expectations—or constantly wondering why you feel behind in life when you’re doing everything right—this conversation will hit hard. You don’t need to become someone else to feel worthy. You just need to unlearn the noise that told you you weren’t.

This is your sign to stop shrinking and start standing in your worth—flaws, failures, and all.
