The Holy Trinity to REALLY Love Yourself: Self-Confidence, Self-Worth, and Self-Esteem

Is your confidence UNSHAKABLE? Do you believe, down to your core, that you are worthy and valuable and have every ability to kick ass at life? If you’re nodding “Hell yes” that's awesome! If not, take a deep breath because you aren’t alone. At any given time, 85% of people admit they struggle with self-confidence and, roughly the same number of adults admit to having low self-esteem. In this episode we’re getting real about, what I refer to as, the Holy Trinity of Self-Love and that is the ability to have self-confidence, self-worth, and self-esteem. These things sound the same but are totally different. So we’re breaking it down without the fluffy “woo speak” so you can understand what each of these is, what they are NOT, and why self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-worth matter if you’re going to live a liberated life on YOUR terms. Let’s do this Topics we’re chatting about include: <ul> <li>Self-Worth: This is the deep-seated acknowledgment of your inherent value as a person, deserving of love and respect. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Self-Confidence: This is the belief in your ability to succeed at specific tasks. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Self-Esteem: This is your personal evaluation of your own worth, often influenced by comparisons with others. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>My Personal Path to Self-Discovery: I opened up about my own struggles with these concepts, particularly as I approached my 40s. Despite others seeing me as confident, I was a champion people-pleaser without a true sense of self. My journey to self-love began with the realization that I had been seeking external validation instead of cultivating my own sense of worth.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The Role of the Trinity in Self-Love: Cultivating self-worth, self-confidence, and self-esteem is essential for taking control of our lives. These elements enable us to leave unhealthy relationships, pursue our dreams, and feel deserving of success. They're not static; they can be strengthened or challenged over time, and we can actively work on improving them.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Tools for Self-Reflection and Growth: I provided resources, including the Rosenberg self-esteem scale and the contingencies of self-worth scale, along with reflective questions to help you assess your levels of self-worth, self-confidence, and self-esteem. These tools encourage introspection and are a starting point for personal growth.</li> </ul> Timestamps <ul> <li>01:14 - Starting Point: The Basics of Self-Love</li> </ul> <ul> <li>01:57 - Sarah's Personal Journey of Self-Discovery</li> </ul> <ul> <li>02:49 - Realizing the Need for Self-Awareness</li> </ul> <ul> <li>03:52 - The Confusion Between Confidence and Self-Knowledge</li> </ul> <ul> <li>04:36 - The Gap Between External Perception and Self-Perception</li> </ul> <ul> <li>05:39 - Introducing the Holy Trinity of Self-Love</li> </ul> <ul> <li>06:00 - The Interplay of Self-Esteem, Confidence, and Self-Worth</li> </ul> <ul> <li>07:59 - Defining Self-Esteem: Your Sense of Value</li> </ul> <ul> <li>09:35 - Tools for Assessing Self-Esteem</li> </ul> <ul> <li>11:00 - Exploring Self-Worth: Beyond Self-Esteem</li> </ul> <ul> <li>13:09 - Characteristics of High Self-Esteem</li> </ul> <ul> <li>14:47 - Self-Worth vs. Self-Esteem: Understanding the Difference</li> </ul> <ul> <li>16:03 - The Self-Worth Theory: Ability, Effort, and Performance</li> </ul> <ul> <li>18:10 - Common but Questionable Sources of Self-Worth</li> </ul> <ul> <li>20:07 - Reflecting on Your Own Self-Worth</li> </ul> <ul> <li>21:10 - Defining Self-Confidence: Belief in Abilities</li> </ul> <ul> <li>22:36 - Self-Confidence vs. Self-Esteem: A Critical Distinction</li> </ul> <ul> <li>23:07 - Summary: The Relationship Between the Three Concepts</li> </ul> <ul> <li>24:10 - Sarah's Example: Interconnection of Self-Concepts</li> </ul> <ul> <li>27:58 - The Necessity of Balancing All Three for Self-Love</li> </ul> <ul> <li>29:02 - Mention of Resources and Upcoming Deep Dives</li> </ul>

Exploring Fatness: Part TWO - Unpacking OUR Body Shit for Liberation on OUR OWN Terms

How do you feel about your fat body? This can be a sticky topic for anyone, let alone someone who has felt negative stuff about their weight in the past. This (super-nuanced) episode is Part TWO of a series discussing the ideas of fatness so that people of all sizes can be empowered to pursue body liberation on their terms. If you've ever hated your body, you're not alone. But hating your body won't make you happier. It's time to change that. This podcast does not want you to be fat and it does not want you to lose weight - this podcast wants you to learn where your shitty ideas about your body come from so that YOU can figure out how YOU feel about YOUR BODY on YOUR TERMS. Topics we’re chatting about include: <ul> <li>Personal Journey Sharing: I share my personal journey with you, from childhood diets to adult realizations, to illustrate the importance of separating our self-worth from others' opinions. It's about crafting a value system that's centered around what's unique and beautiful in us, rather than being pleasing to others.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Influences on Body Image: We explore the role of parents, media, and social media in shaping our body image. With the majority of influencers being much younger, it's crucial to question whether their perspectives truly resonate with our own experiences and challenges.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Fat Narratives in Media: The idea of the two main narratives are identified: proud fat individuals and those aching to be thin. How the harmful lack of nuance in these tropes has an impact on our self-perception.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Weight Shame and Weight Self-Stigma: I introduce the concepts of weight shame and weight self-stigma, which can deeply affect how we show up in our relationships and how we pursue our dreams. It's essential to recognize these feelings and understand that we can unlearn them to move forward in a more self-loving way.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Questions for Reflection</li> </ul> Timestamps: <ul> <li>00:00 - Intro: Questioning Self-Love and Worthiness</li> <li>00:11 - The Struggle with Self-Worth and Confidence</li> <li>00:31 - Episode Focus: Understanding Self-Worth, Confidence, and Esteem</li> <li>01:03 - Future Episodes: Practical Strategies for Self-Love</li> <li>01:14 - Starting Point: The Basics of Self-Love</li> <li>01:35 - Host Introduction: Sarah's Background and Mission</li> <li>01:57 - Sarah's Personal Journey of Self-Discovery</li> <li>02:49 - Realizing the Need for Self-Awareness</li> <li>03:52 - The Confusion Between Confidence and Self-Knowledge</li> <li>04:36 - The Gap Between External Perception and Self-Perception</li> <li>05:39 - Introducing the Holy Trinity of Self-Love</li> <li>06:00 - The Interplay of Self-Esteem, Confidence, and Self-Worth</li> <li>07:59 - Defining Self-Esteem: Your Sense of Value09:35 - Tools for Assessing Self-Esteem</li> <li>11:00 - Exploring Self-Worth: Beyond Self-Esteem</li> <li>13:09 - Characteristics of High Self-Esteem</li> <li>14:47 - Self-Worth vs. Self-Esteem: Understanding the Difference</li> <li>16:03 - The Self-Worth Theory: Ability, Effort, and Performance</li> <li>18:10 - Common but Questionable Sources of Self-Worth</li> <li>20:07 - Reflecting on Your Own Self-Worth</li> <li>21:10 - Defining Self-Confidence: Belief in Abilities</li> <li>22:36 - Self-Confidence vs. Self-Esteem: A Critical Distinction</li> <li>23:07 - Summary: The Relationship Between the Three Concepts</li> <li>24:10 - Sarah's Example: Interconnection of Self-Concepts</li> <li>27:58 - The Necessity of Balancing All Three for Self-Love</li> <li>29:02 - Mention of Resources and Upcoming Deep Dives</li> </ul>

This first episode discusses ideas of fatness in society today, and breaks down the concepts of Body Positivity, Fat Acceptance, Fat Activism, Fat Liberation, Body Neutrality, and Body Liberation. This series is particularly helpful for those living in larger bodies looking to unpack their weight shame and stigma so they may pursue what true body liberation looks like for themselves - whether that answer includes weight loss or advocating against diet culture.

Its purpose is to educate and empower listeners to learn and think about ideas for themselves in order to embrace self-love and live a self-loving life Our next episode will be our Part 2 and dig into our own feelings of weight shame and stigma.
