6. Juggling Social Media, Self-worth and Self-esteem

Words with Me Podcast

Social media is kind of a big deal now. We need to promote ourselves and our businesses. We use it to share life moments and connect. It can be good and just as bad. What does it mean when social media becomes too much? In this episode I get into managing your social media usage and cultivating confidence, self-worth, and self-esteem. In a world of social media, retweets, followers and likes it can be difficult to feel like what you have to offer the world matters. It can seem that way when you feel you aren't validated, but the key is to figure out how to validate yourself.
