Ep 65: Self Esteem

It might seem like an issue in your teens, but struggling with self esteem is something that many adults struggle with. I’ve seen my friends and family struggle with self esteem, and as mothers, we often feel a little lost and this in turn impacts our self esteem. In today’s episode, I share ways to increase your self esteem based on an article by Psychology Today. These easy steps include having a positive attitude which in turn increases your trust and belief in yourself, breaking the stigma by talking to your friends and most importantly making time for fun (something I’ve discussed in previous podcasts). Self improvement and self confidence isn’t something you change overnight but you can work on it bit by bit! In this episode, we cover:
