In this solo episode of P.S I Love Me, Lynda gets personal about the one thing that can shape how we find real love on our level: self-worth. Not confidence. Not self-esteem. The deeper, often subconscious belief about what you deserve, what you tolerate, and what you accept as “normal”.

Lynda shares how early experiences, bullying, a grief planted a belief that she “wasn’t quite worth showing up for”, and how that belief went on to influence the relationships she chose, the way she over-gave, tolerated what wasn’t right, and the kind of love she thought she had to earn.

You’ll hear why low self-worth can lead you towards emotionally unavailable partners, why calm can feel “boring” when your nervous system is used to chaos, and the three foundations that actually shift self-worth at the root.
