EPISODE 3: Understanding Self-Efficacy and Self-Worth


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of the Healthy Living Podcast, I unpack the importance of self-efficacy, how we see ourselves, treat ourselves, and show up in our daily lives. With so many of us juggling work, family, and responsibilities, it’s easy to slip into patterns of doing everything for others while neglecting our own well-being. I share practical and accessible ways to prioritize self-care, strengthen the mind-body connection, and support our mental and emotional health without guilt.

Through mindfulness, breathwork, nature, and intentional pause, we can begin building a healthier relationship with ourselves one that allows us to be present, compassionate, and balanced. I also highlight the value of seeking support from a coach or counselor when processing emotions feels overwhelming.

This conversation is a reminder that you cannot pour from an empty cup, caring for yourself is not selfish, it’s essential.

In this episode, I talk about:

* What self-efficacy is and how it relates to our self-esteem

* The importance of nurturing yourself the same way you nurture others

* How the mind-body connection influences emotional and physical wellness

* Breaking the stigma around seeking mental and emotional support

* Why suppressing emotions can lead to unhealthy coping habits (like over-drinking)

* Natural self-care supports, including lavender for relaxation

Practical self-care ideas from the episode:

* Take nature walks or spend time outdoors

* Practice guided breathwork (inhale through the nose, slow sigh out the mouth)

* Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly to check your breathing style

* Carve out 5–10 minutes for mindfulness during breaks or before bed

* Use natural relaxation support like lavender essential oil
