  • #36- Questioning Your Worth and Finding Peace with Yourself (THE FULL VERSION!)

    In this deeply reflective episode, we dive into the emotional and psychological roots of self-doubt and low self-worth. Why do so many of us tie our value to our achievements or social image? We unpack the impact of comparison culture, past traumas, and internalized beliefs—and how these shape our self-image. Drawing from psychological insights like Carl Rogers’ Self-Concept Theory and practical tools such as CBT, mindfulness, and self-compassion practices, we explore ways to reclaim our inner peace. Tune in for an honest conversation about breaking free from societal pressures and learning to accept yourself as you are—flaws and all.

    We explore real-life examples, signs to look out for, and practical steps toward breaking the cycle—through therapy, awareness, and intentional self-work.
