Why Self-Esteem Fluctuates and How to Anchor It Internally

In this episode of Resiliency Redefined, Dr. Robyne explores how easily our self-esteem can become entangled with outside validation—and what it takes to return to a more grounded, steady sense of worth. She unpacks the difference between genuine and contingent self-esteem and examines the many ways we learn to measure our value. Dr. Robyne guides you through a process for recognizing when your self-worth is being shaped by external forces, interrupting old narratives, and building a new foundation rooted in self-trust and inner alignment.
