High self-esteem is important because it influences how individuals perceive themselves, interact with others, and navigate the world around them. 

By fostering healthy self-esteem, individuals can cultivate resilience, confidence, and well-being, laying the foundation for a fulfilling and satisfying life.

When our self-esteem is lower than we'd like, there's one fool-proof way to bolster it:  by resting in our own goodness. 

This week's podcast discusses some practical steps we can take to increase our own sense of self-worth.
