Today, I chat with this absolute stunner, Salma!

We both have something in common...massive insecurity and an urge to learn to be more self-confident

What we talk about:

• It all started with a picture
• Growing up with low self-confidence due to cultural factors (life in Morocco), criticism from family and friends, being bullied in school, and dealing with old ideologies in society 
• From a young age, we see ourselves from other people's perspective and how that can transcend into adulthood
• Being criticized by her family for not having a certain “look” ie. the European profile 
• All these factors can then lead to obsessing over our appearance and the effects it has on mental health and our lives
• Salma's experience and how things changed after moving to Dubai
• The difficulties of being able to take a compliment from others when you don't believe it yourself
• The effects of low self-confidence on relationships (friendships and romantic)
• Addressing the fact that in order to be in a better place with ourselves, we need help in order to get down to the root of having low self-confidence
• Why schools are not doing anything about being bullied 
• Answering the question of what she's most afraid of
