Episode Summary

In the latest episode of our podcast, we delve deep into the intricate realm of self-worth and self-belief with Kevin Palmieri from Next Level University. We explore the complex world of self-worth, how it's reflected in our ability to appreciate our value, and the often-overlooked aspect of self-belief. We observed and discussed that men often have lower self-belief, hindering their progress and success. Recognizing this, we talked about practical ways to boost self-belief and overcome barriers to personal growth. We underscore that personal growth can sometimes mean outgrowing people in our lives, and how to handle such situations with self-worth and understanding by creating a safe space for meaningful conversations and being open about our struggles are vital factors in this process.
