A Mindful Conversation on Self-Esteem: For Teens and Adults Still Unlearning

This episode is for the teens—and the adults who are still unlearning old messages.

Because it’s February, a month where relationships are front and center, we’re honoring both Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and International Boost Self-Esteem Month with a mindful conversation about self-esteem and self-worth.

We’ll explore what they are, how they show up, how they get shaken, and why they matter in our relationships with ourselves and others.

Join me as we give space to reflection, compassion, and growth—because healthy relationships start with how we see ourselves.
