Podcasts about self esteem

WOW!!!

LISTEN!!!

 In this message Dr. Schuller gives a theological history for the motivation to live a Christian life in the shadow of Proverbs 16:18, which tells us that pride leads to destruction. The questions addressed are: What is pride? How does pride impact self esteem? Does success lead to pride? How do we know when pride consumes us?  

Children are asking questions."Am I enough?""Am I too ugly?""Why don't they like me?""Is something wrong with me?"This Children's Day, I'm talking about something that has been heavy on my heart: the self-esteem of children.After speaking at a conference for teenage girls, I was confronted with heartbreaking questions about body image, bullying, self-worth, rejection, and even sexual harassment. Some of the stories I heard left me speechless. Some of them, all I could do was listen, hug them, and pray with them.That experience reminded me of something important: children are always asking questions about themselves and their place in the world. If we don't help them find healthy answers, someone else will.In this episode, we talk about:• Why self-esteem starts forming much earlier than most people realize• The hidden impact of our words on children• Bullying, body image, and identity• Why emotional presence matters just as much as provisionIf you're a parent, an older sibling, a teacher, a mentor, or someone still healing from childhood wounds, this conversation is for you.Happy Children's Day.

How self-esteem is directly related to Joy and Joy is directly related to success.

Jyoti Chand grew up the youngest child and only girl in a Punjabi immigrant family in West Covina, California, in the middle of a 95% Mexican neighborhood, in a gang-infiltrated area, in a household where her dad ironed her clothes, did the laundry, cooked the food, and showed up to every parent-teacher conference while her mom worked nights. She was spoiled with love. She was the class clown with a binder of printed jokes. She was the smart one, the good girl, the straight-A kid who also snuck out to Bong Fest, talked back to everyone, and graduated high school at 16. She was also someone who had no idea that alcohol was quietly shaping her entire story. In this episode of Sense of Self, Dr. Gowri Aragam sits down with Jyoti Chand, known to hundreds of thousands as Mama Jotes, a mom, a content creator, founder of Jyotes by Jyoti Chand, author of the graphic novel Fitting Indian, and one of the most genuinely funny and disarmingly honest voices on the internet. What starts as a warm, hilarious conversation about growing up first-generation in LA becomes something much more honest. A story about dual identity, undiagnosed ADHD, inherited anxiety and depression, a suicide attempt at 18 that her university tried to quietly erase, abusive relationships she didn't think she deserved better than, and the slow realization that the substance she thought was just fun was actually the main character in a story she desperately wanted to rewrite. And then she stopped drinking. And everything changed. 00:00 Cold Open and Retakes 00:54 Mom Life Small Talk 01:49 Name Origin and Fireworks 04:14 Growing Up West Covina 07:18 Assimilating and Blending In 11:57 Home Life and Superdad 16:17 Sibling Chaos and Teen Rebellion 22:10 Comedy as Survival 28:09 High School Anxiety and Coping 33:00 Family Mental Health Patterns 35:37 Modeling Coping Skills 36:20 Breaking Generational Cycles 37:27 Growing Up Too Fast 38:24 College Freedom Party Life 43:17 When Drinking Feeds Anxiety 45:00 Alcohol and Parenting Boundaries 47:18 Good Girl Bad Girl Split 52:51 Breakup Depression Spiral 56:40 Hospital Hold and Dorm Fallout 59:35 Therapy Break the Cycle 01:07:30 Writing as Healing Path 01:11:39 Self Worth and Relationships 01:12:41 Choosing Love Through Discomfort 01:15:01 Brunch Meltdown and the Ring 01:18:13 Reparative Love and Co Regulation 01:23:31 Alcohol After Marriage and Motherhood 01:27:20 Moderation Fails and Pandemic Spiral 01:28:23 Dry January and Quit Like a Woman 01:35:19 Sobriety Fuels Creativity and Growth 01:43:02 Self Esteem and Resilience Muscle 01:48:06 Who I Am Now and Closing About Our Guest: Jyoti Chand, known online as Mama Jotes, is a content creator, author, and advocate for first-generation Americans navigating identity, mental health, and sobriety. Her graphic novel Fitting Indian follows a 16-year-old first-generation American girl navigating mental health struggles, dual identity, and the pressure to belong everywhere and nowhere at once.

What if the quality that we've been told will weaken us - self-compassion - is actually the key to wellbeing, and higher performance?In this episode, Dr. Kristin Neff, the pioneering researcher who first defined and measured self-compassion, challenges one of the most persistent myths in high-performance culture: that being hard on yourself makes you better. It doesn't. Thirty years of research says otherwise.Kristin Neff unpacks how self-compassion isn't self-pity or laziness, but a profound source of inner stability and flourishing, especially for leaders operating under relentless pressure. We explore why self-esteem is a fair-weather friend that deserts you the moment you fail and why unconditional self-worth is a far more stable foundation for growth and higher productivity. If you lead people, manage under pressure, or simply want to stop letting failure define you, this conversation will change how you think about what it means to thrive.What you will learn: Why self-compassion outperforms self-criticism for performance and growthThe three components of self-compassion and how to practice themHow just 20 seconds a day can measurably raise your self-compassion levelsWhy psychological safety must begin with the individual, not the organizationEpisode Chapters0:36 Introduction to Self-Compassion1:46: Common Myths About Self-Compassion5:32: The Shift from Self-Esteem to Self-Compassion17:28: Three components of Self Compassion17:54: Mindfulness and Self-Compassion39:22: Practical Self-Compassion Practices40:42: 20 Second Micro-Practice (UC Berkeley)RESOURCESConnect with the GuestLinkedIn: Dr. Kristin NeffRecommended Reading: Self Compassion: The power of being kind to yourselfFierce Self compassion: How to Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Your Power, and ThriveWebsite: selfcompassion.orgConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.

After addiction, divorce, losing a career, or any season that leaves life looking like a house after a storm, self-esteem can feel less “broken” and more…evaporated. In this episode, I am giving you three free, practical ways to rebuild confidence without needing a total life makeover, a 5 a.m. ice bath, or a personality transplant.We get into why keeping tiny promises to yourself matters more than giant goals, how helping other people quietly repairs the way you see yourself, and how you can make any environment work for you. Whether you're newly sober, starting over after heartbreak, or just trying to feel like yourself again, this episode is about rebuilding self-worth brick by brick instead of waiting for lightning to strike.DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

If you have ADHD, chances are "just believe in yourself" has never quite landed. Not because you're broken, but because traditional self-esteem advice wasn't built for a brain like yours.In this episode, David offers a reframe that actually makes sense for neurodivergent minds: self-esteem isn't about confidence or positivity. It's about something more fundamental — the belief that you will survive what happens next. That one shift changes how you start things, why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuck, and why you can feel completely competent in one area of your life and utterly lost in another.Isabelle works through it live — and it gets uncomfortably specific. The kind of specific that might stop you mid-listen and make you go: oh. that's me.In this episode:Why "believe in yourself" feels abstract or impossible for ADHD and neurodivergent brains — and why that's not on youThe difference between self-esteem and self-efficacy, and which one actually gets you movingWhy your confidence can feel solid one day and completely gone by 4pmHow ADHD variability makes traditional self-esteem advice quietly set you up to failWhy doing something imperfectly still builds more trust in yourself than waiting until you're readyWhy outsourcing might actually be a self-esteem strategy — and when it isn't-------Wait, What's That? Here are some of the terms and people mentioned in this episode explained:Albert Bandura — The psychologist behind self-efficacy theory. Shifted the conversation from "feeling good about yourself" to something more specific: your belief that you can handle a particular situation. David respectfully disagrees with part of his model. In the best way.Self-efficacy — Your belief that you can act and influence an outcome. The key thing: it's built through experience, not feelings. You don't have to feel ready to start building it.Self-esteem (reframed) — Traditionally, how you feel about yourself. David's version: the belief that you'll survive the outcome — even when things go sideways. That shift makes it possible to act without needing confidence first.VAST (Variable Attentional Stimulation Seeking Trait) — From ADHD 2.0 by Hallowell & Ratey. A reframe of ADHD as variability of attention rather than a deficit. Your ability to focus, engage, and follow through shifts depending on context, stimulation, and internal state. Sound familiar?Norepinephrine — A neurotransmitter tied to attention and alertness. More involved in your moment-to-moment sense of I can do this than most people realize.Metacognition — Thinking about your own thinking. Useful for understanding your patterns. Also a reliable path to an overthinking spiral at 11pm. Both things are true.Self-perpetuating feedback loop — When thoughts, feelings, and behaviors keep reinforcing each other. Not acting builds doubt. Acting — even imperfectly — starts building something else instead.Neophobic — The very human tendency to resist new things. Especially loud when there's no precedent and the stakes feel like they have no bottom.-------

In this eye-opening episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Dr. Ann Tsung, NASA Flight Surgeon, triple-boarded ER/Critical Care/Aerospace physician, and founder of Productivity MD, to explore why most high performers don't lack success—they lack true freedom, authentic confidence, and genuine self-worth beneath the accomplishments.After years operating in high-stakes environments from emergency rooms to space missions, Dr. Tsung discovered that what looks like control and achievement is often a comfortable prison destroying confidence and self-esteem from the inside. Her breakthrough came during a 1.5-year sabbatical from NASA, where she developed the 5 Stages of Time Freedom℠—a proven framework to help leaders move from "Time Prisoner" (trapped by achievement) to "Time Transcender" (living with authentic confidence and freedom).You can find more from Ann here:⁠https://www.productivitymd.com/⁠

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday, an episode of Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones dives into those difficult parenting moments when your daughter says something about herself that feels completely untrue—and how to respond in a way that actually helps.It's natural to want to correct, reassure, or fix things quickly. But Melissa offers a different approach: confidence isn't built by seeing herself through your eyes, but by learning to recognize her own strengths over time. That process often includes doubt, comparison, and discomfort—parts that are hard to watch, but essential for growth.With a grounded and practical perspective, she encourages parents to pause, stay present, and focus on understanding first. By validating your daughter's experience and later reflecting small, real moments back to her, you help her build a sense of confidence that feels genuine and lasting.Tune in to discover:How to respond when your daughter puts herself downWhy resisting the urge to “fix it” can be more powerfulWhat it looks like to build confidence from the inside outSimple ways to reflect real moments that help it stickHow everyday interactions shape how she sees herselfThis episode is a reminder that confidence doesn't happen all at once. It's built —through small, meaningful moments—and your presence in those moments matters more than you think.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

Self-esteem can feel like a lonely place. Like you're the only one overthinking everything, struggling to receive love, or wondering why something so “simple” feels this hard.In this episode, I'm sharing 10 things I had to learn the hard way about self-esteem.We're talking about:Why healing takes longer than you expectHow low self-esteem quietly affects your relationshipsThe truth about insecurity, overthinking, and needing reassuranceWhere it often starts (and why it's not entirely your fault)The difference between confidence and prideAnd why, at the end of the day, nobody is coming to fix it for youThis isn't a perfect, polished conversation. It's honest and reflective, and for anyone who is tired of feeling like they're the problem and ready to start doing something about it.Connect with me:Email: helloayanpella@gmail.comIG: @ayanpellaX: @ayanpella_TikTok: @ayanpellaIf this episode resonates with you, share it with someone, your friend, your sibling, even that one person who pretends they don't need it (they do

I'm just going to say it—some of the advice we're listening to right now… we need to start considering the source.Because it's really easy to hear someone talk about motherhood, success, or balance and start questioning yourself. Am I doing too much? Not enough? Should I want more?But not every perspective is meant for your life.In this episode, I'm talking about what it means to step back and ask: who is this advice actually for? Because the reality is, a lot of what we hear—about work, parenting, and even our bodies—is coming from people living completely different lives, with completely different priorities and support systems.And while we're trying to keep up with all of that, we're also trying to fix our bodies at the same time. Lose weight. Look a certain way. Feel confident. Do it all.At some point, you have to pause and ask:What do I actually want my life to look like?Not what sounds impressive.Not what works for someone else.Not what you think you should want.I'm sharing my perspective on choosing a life that fits me, why I'm okay where I'm at, and how chasing a “better body” and a “better life” at the same time can keep you stuck if you're not careful.You don't have to follow every piece of advice you hear. You don't have to want more just because someone else does. And you don't need a different body to start living your life.You just need to decide what's actually right for you.Show Notes

In this paradigm-shifting episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Lisa Carpenter, master coach, bestselling author, and speaker with over two decades of experience helping high-achieving executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders close the gap between the success they've built and the confident, fulfilled life they're actually capable of living.Lisa has worked with hundreds of high-achievers across the globe who have achieved everything they were told would bring fulfillment—only to discover it hasn't, and their confidence and self-worth feel hollow despite external success.

How to build your self esteem

Welcome back to Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones gently explores a challenge many parents quietly worry about—when their daughters begin comparing themselves to others and start to feel like they're not enough.It's hard to watch your child struggle with self-esteem, and the instinct to fix or reassure can be strong. But Melissa offers a different, more lasting approach. Instead of correcting these thoughts right away, she encourages parents to pause and seek understanding first—because beneath comparison is often a deeper need to feel seen, valued, and capable.Through simple, everyday moments, Melissa shares how parents can help their daughters reconnect with their own strengths. By noticing and naming what your daughter is already doing well, you begin to shift her focus inward—where real confidence takes root.In this episode, we explore:Why comparison is so common for girls—and how it shapes self-esteemThe importance of understanding feelings before trying to change themHow small, daily moments can build lasting confidencePractical ways to help your daughter recognize her own strengthsHow to nurture resilience and self-discovery from withinJoin Melissa for a warm and encouraging conversation that will leave you feeling more equipped to support your daughter—while helping her grow into someone who truly believes in herself.Download the Quick Tips PDF of today's episode for future reference.If you know a parent who could benefit from this conversation, share this episode with them!

In this enlightening episode of Behind the Bite, Dr. Cristina Castagnini welcomes back therapist and author Alli Spotts-De Lazzer to explore the often-misunderstood concepts of self-esteem and confidence. Many people spend years trying to "fix" themselves or chase higher self-esteem, only to find that their sense of worth remains a moving target. Alli introduces "self-acceptance" as the missing link and the necessary anchor that keeps us steady when shame, fear, or judgment arise. By shifting the focus from objective "improvement" to compassionate curiosity, Alli and Dr. Castagnini discuss how to navigate recovery, body neutrality, and the clinical realities of how nourishment affects our ability to think logically. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck in the cycle of self-improvement who is looking for a more stable path toward healing.
