Join Lisa in exploring a topic that is relevant to every single person on the planet and particularly inspired by a conversation Lisa had with her daughter who is now almost 17 years old.

In this episode, you're invited to think about self-esteem in a new or different way so you can support your clients at a deeper level when self-esteem is the thing they are struggling with.

Learn ….

• A new reframe on understanding self-worth and how it translates to our work with clients;
• Why everyone has both low and high self-esteem (and the purpose of it);
• The correlation between self-worth and nervous system activation;
• How to support clients who feel they are struggling with low self-esteem/self-worth; and
• How to support parents/caregivers when they are the ones struggling with feeling not good enough and like an inadequate parent/caregiver.

Plus, you'll hear a 17-year-old's amazing definition of what "high self-esteem" can look like and feel like and what "low self-esteem" can look like and feel like- it just might be the best nugget of the entire podcast!
