I was recently speaking with my coach the other day and jokingly said, “I don’t need enemies, I have me!” The conversation involved my questions, and yes, struggles, with growing a business. After the call, I thought about my statement further and the number of times those voices in my head told me that “I wasn’t good enough!” or “I didn’t have what it takes!”

Did you know that one’s self-esteem is intricately woven into the fabric of our psychological well-being?  It also plays a pivotal role in shaping how we perceive and interact with the world around us. It is the mirror through which we view ourselves, often reflecting on our perceived worth, abilities, and inherent value. The journey of nurturing our self-esteem is deeply personal and varies significantly from one individual to another, often influenced by our life experiences, social interactions, and personal achievements or setbacks. Sharing one's story, therefore, emerges as a powerful vehicle for fostering a healthier self-esteem. It offers an opportunity for introspection, healing, and connection, allowing individuals to reclaim their narrative and affirm their worth.
