Today, I want to talk to you about self-esteem or self-worth. Before I begin, just a warning that I will be sharing my own self-esteem journey which has themes around bullying and unworthiness. If these are particularly troubling themes for you, this may be a bit of an intense episode.

Okay, let’s get started. I want to begin by sharing a little bit about my own experience with self-worth:

Grew up with undiagnosed autism and ADHD.

Making friends was hard because I didn’t understand social cues.

Felt like everyone else was playing a game I didn’t know the rules to, and would be punished if I did it wrong.

Also moved every year, which prevented me from making solid, deep-seated friendships.

In elementary school, middle school and the beginning of high school I was bullied a lot.

As a result, as an adult I had very poor self-esteem and self-worth.

This led to choosing really damaging, unhealthy romantic relationships that reinforced these beliefs I had about myself.

Really affected my mental health.

I felt broken and unloveable.

Then, something snapped inside of me and I burned all of my bridges and started a new life.

Began to get to know myself:

Discovered personal development, growth mindset (another topic for another time, but basically that I wasn’t stuck and could do anything I wanted), spirituality.

All of which made me want to HEAL.

I devoured all of the information I came across and began to put it into practice.

What I want to share with you today are 3 ways to improve self-esteem/self-worth that I have personally had life-changing results with.

This isn’t to say that my self-esteem is perfect now. I have days where I doubt every decision I’ve ever made and resign to the fact that “maybe all of those bullies were right about me.” BUT those days used to be every day, now they happen maybe a few times a month.

I encourage you to play around with these tips. Experiment. Combine them. Make them your own. Toss out any of them that DON’T resonate with you. You can pick one to start, or try all 3.

Okay, so here are my top 3 tips for improving your self-esteem:

Quickly bringing it back to astrology:

In the birth chart, we could see this in a few places:

Pluto or Chiron in the 1st House - core wound around the concept of self

Uranus in the 4th House - unstable family life or upbringing

Moon in the 8th House - constant focus on improvement
