How to Build Self-Worth and Stop Seeking External Validation (Part 3 in series)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The topic of self-worth cuts deeper than self-esteem. That is because self-worth is an internal sense that you are enough, and that you are fundamentally deserving of love and respect.
In Part 3 of our "Relationship to Self" series, we are diving deep into the foundations of self-worth.
In this episode, we look at:
- Where are we actually getting validation from?
- How does toxic shame quietly undermine our value?
- What do we truly care about versus what are the games we play to feel like we "stack up?”
- Tangible practices we can start using today to build our self-worth.
I hope this episode supports you on your journey of personal growth and strengthening your relationship with yourself.
