Listen Later

Episode Overview In this episode of You Keep Me Sane, Julie and Aileen dive into the topic of self-worth, exploring what it means, how we lose touch with it, and how to rebuild it from within. They share personal stories and insights into why self-worth is crucial for living authentically and setting healthy standards for oneself.

Key Discussion Points

  • What is Self-Worth? Understanding self-worth as an intrinsic sense of value, independent of achievements or external validation.
  • Losing Touch with Self-Worth: How societal conditioning and early praise tied to accomplishments can skew our perception of self-worth.
  • Rebuilding Self-Worth: Personal experiences of separating worth from external achievements and valuing inherent qualities.
  • Cultivating Self-Worth Daily: Practical strategies like gratitude practices, setting boundaries, and self-compassion to reinforce a strong sense of self.

Listener Takeaways

  • Self-worth isn’t something you earn; it’s inherent.
  • Focus on valuing your internal qualities and practising self-compassion.
  • Surround yourself with people who appreciate you for who you are, and learn to validate yourself without external approval.
