Let me know your thoughts about the podcast. Thank you for listening!A tap on the shoulder at the Kotel. Two deer in an empty cemetery at dawn. Those moments of impossible timing launch a candid, practical journey into self-esteem, why it slips, and how to bring light back when life feels dim. We connect the sacred and the everyday, then get specific about what low self-worth looks like when it shows up in real life.We unpack 14 common patterns: imposter syndrome that lingers long after the first week on the job, avoiding social scenes out of fear rather than temperament, and relationships that wobble when we ask partners to fill holes we haven't faced. We draw a hard line between healthy thrills and not caring if you live, explore hypersensitivity and modest presence, and dismantle the myth that you must be the best to be worthy. You'll hear how people-pleasing masquerades as kindness, how perfectionism quietly becomes procrastination, and why your health can mirror your emotions.There's a relationship toolkit here too. The “sunscreen love” idea sticks: compliments protect, criticism burns. We show how fishing for compliments keeps you stuck in outside approval, while specific, sincere praise regenerates trust. We talk fake confidence, practical “rejection therapy,” and the daily skill of resilience—especially in marriage—where acceptance beats control. We challenge snap judgments (the “stuck up” label often hides shyness) and call out gossip as feathers scattered on the wind. We also examine attention economics in modern media and the lure of looks-based fixes when insecurity drives the choice.If you've felt the sting of comparison or the silence of feeling not enough, this conversation offers a map back to steady ground: add light, guard your attention, replace criticism with earned praise, and practice resilience until confidence becomes your default. If this resonated, follow the show, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with the one insight you'll act on this week.

Send us a textUnderstanding self-esteem and recognising if you're anxiety is related to low self-worthIn this episode we will spend some quality time breaking down the most common signs of low self-esteem using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale which is a trusted psychological tool for measuring a person's overall self-esteemRecognising low self-esteem is important because it helps you understand the root of how you think, feel, and behave. When you become aware of whether your self-esteem is strong, shaky, or inconsistent, you can start to understand why you react the way you do - why certain situations trigger you, why you feel anxious or stuck, or why certain patterns keep repeating - we need that if we want to change and strengthen self esteemI am Carly Ann, and I'm on a mission to bring the wisdom of therapy beyond the couch — helping people grow, connect, and thrive in life and love.

If you think you're a loser and a failure, then you're going to behave in ways that confirm these beliefs. We all have beliefs about our inherent worth and what we deserve, and when life starts getting too good, we'll self-sabotage to bring ourselves back down. In this episode, I'll explain the self-worth ceiling and where this comes from so you can get some insight on your own motivations behind your behavior.

Welcome to the latest episode of Being a Parent is Hard! In “Cultivating Self-Esteem in Our Kids: Recipes to Combat Low Self-Esteem", we focus on why self-esteem is at the core our emotional universe and some of the difficulties we see when kids struggle with low self-esteem. We offer strategies and insights as to what truly cultivates self-esteem in children and teens and what simply allays a parent's concern about enhancing their child's self-image. For example, focusing on attractiveness, thinness, and performance are rarely direct routes to helping a child build a stronger, more secure and positive sense of themselves. Please join us for a deep dive into the topic of self-esteem and how we as parents, teachers, coaches, and members of a community can influence a child's self-esteem.Contact us at: beingaparentishardpodcast@gmail.com
This week's episode is going to feel like magic. ✨ I had the honor of sitting down with Denise Linn, the legendary teacher, author, and intuitive whose wisdom has touched millions around the world (she's even been on Oprah back in the day). Denise shares her extraordinary journey—from a near-death experience that opened her to the unseen world, to discovering how the universe speaks to us through signs, synchronicities, and nature. We also did a live oracle card reading for the end of this year and 2026 that gave me full-body chills. We used her deck, The Sacred Traveler, one of my faves. It's a MUST LISTENl!
Season 9, Episode 24 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast is as real as it gets. For his first in-person episode of the season, Izzy Baker sits down with Paul Sweatpants, a Las Vegas-based vlogger and Air Force veteran who's built a name for himself through storytelling, self-awareness, and sharp wit. What starts as a lighthearted chat about self-image and hygiene routines quickly unpacks a much deeper question: How did you raise your self-esteem? IIzzy opens up about his personal transformation, from being overlooked in his early years to walking into rooms and turning heads. Paul shares how a single YouTube comment about his lack of structure shifted the entire trajectory of his content and his confidence. Together, they discuss how small changes, better hygiene, real accountability, and facing uncomfortable truths can snowball into major life shifts. The episode digs into how men often confuse ego with self-esteem, how hypersexuality sometimes masks deeper emotional wounds, and how military life impacted Paul's mental health.The two also tackle how social media pressures men to perform rather than heal, and how real brotherhood, not surface-level friendship, plays a critical role in building healthy self-worth. As the episode closes, Izzy and Paul get candid about the pain of childhood gaslighting, the struggle to express emotion, and the importance of creating a life that reflects who you really are — not who you were told to be. This one isn't just a conversation about confidence it's a blueprint for rebuilding yourself from the inside out. Tune in if you've ever struggled with self-worth, are learning to take feedback without folding, or are just trying to feel like somebody again. Listen. Reflect. And don't be afraid to join the conversation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

Tired of being stuck but not sure why nothing changes? This episode dives into the uncomfortable truth: you can't transform your life while protecting the patterns that sabotage it.

You'll learn: *Why excuses feel safer than change (brain + behavior science) *How emotional discomfort drives rationalization *The real cost of protecting your limitations *How to spot when “self-compassion” has turned into self-sabotage *Proven strategies to shift from passive insight to lasting action. If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels, confront the stories that keep you stuck, and take ownership of your healing — this episode will hit hard (in the best way).

Is it a compliment to be called ‘nice'? Singer Louise Redknapp isn't so sure. She's always been the good girl, but she's ready to embrace – and express – different facets of her character now. In this chat with Fearne, Louise explains that being in a 90s girlband, and being married to a sports star, forced her to be shiny and polished at all times. That led to a crippling fear about saying or doing the wrong thing, but she's learning to trust her own gut instinct. Fearne and Louise chat about how never knowing her dad, and becoming a mother herself, have impacted her confidence and identity. Plus, can gratitude combat overwhelm?Louise's fifth studio album, Confessions, will be released on May 23rd.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like: Anastacia Shania Twain Naomi Watts Hosted on Acast.

Alright, let's talk about self-esteem. Have you ever felt like you're just one awkward social interaction away from a full-blown identity crisis? Like, one unanswered text, one awkward pause in a conversation, or one unliked Instagram post, and suddenly you're spiraling into, "Does anyone even like me?” Well, welcome to the club—it's a big one. In this episode, I'm talking about self-esteem: what it really is, why so many of us struggle with it, and how it connects to our relationship with food and body image. Because let's be honest, it's not about staring at yourself in the mirror and repeating affirmations until you magically feel worthy. Tweetable Quotes "We all, every single person, need to be seen, heard, accepted, and supported." - Rachelle Heinemann "In order to heal from an eating disorder and in order to develop some version of a healthy self-esteem, it's all the same idea—the acceptance that I am who I am." - Rachelle Heinemann "I take up space. I do have lots of flaws. Not everyone's going to like me, but I have to take up space." - Rachelle Heinemann "Self-esteem is about knowing the people who matter to you already, accept you and you know you're good enough the way you are without changing." - Rachelle Heinemann Resources We're hiring!
