Conversations from the Heart
A weekly, soul-nourishing podcast offering psychologically grounded, heart-centered reflections on human relationships, inner healing, and compassion-based communication.
Focused on live mini-coaching moments to help callers shift from reactive, domination-based communication to collaborative, heart-centered connection. Listen for new scripts for stuck situations, new ways of responding to old relationship dynamics and guidance on how to approach these situations with empathy, self-awareness, and effective communication strategies. Here, we emphasize understanding both one's own needs and the needs of others, creating safe spaces for vulnerable conversations, and finding ways to express ourselves authentically while respecting others' boundaries.

#41 - How to Increase Your Self-Worth
High self-esteem is important because it influences how individuals perceive themselves, interact with others, and navigate the world around them.
By fostering healthy self-esteem, individuals can cultivate resilience, confidence, and well-being, laying the foundation for a fulfilling and satisfying life.
When our self-esteem is lower than we'd like, there's one fool-proof way to bolster it: by resting in our own goodness.
This week's podcast discusses some practical steps we can take to increase our own sense of self-worth.
We discuss:
- 4:49 When demand energy robs us of the joy of giving
- 13:55 A script for building intimacy by using curiosity
- 21:22 Is it ok to change my mind frequently?
- 25:54 A multi-faceted prescription for deeper connection with others
- 28:04 How do I navigate family gatherings when my relatives say hurtful things?
- 33:40 Tips for increasing self-worth
