Lady, you are enough, and you can learn to believe it.

In this week's throwback episode, Terri and Dr. Dom talk about the difference between self-esteem and confidence, and how each can shift through different seasons of life. They reflect on childhood bullying, painful self-talk, and the assumptions we make when we compare ourselves to other people.They also share practical ways to strengthen your relationship with yourself: name your strengths, give yourself a more supportive narrative, celebrate small wins, and meet yourself with compassion while you’re still growing. Confidence doesn’t have to mean feeling sure of yourself in every situation. It can start with understanding what confidence looks like for you.

Takeaways
Identify strengths you may be overlooking.
Practice a positive, personal narrative about yourself.
Start small, recognize your wins, and let yourself celebrate them.
Speak to yourself with the compassion you’d offer a friend.
Remember: confidence can vary by situation, and self-worth is a journey.

Quote of the Day

“I need to see my own beauty and to continue to be reminded that I am enough, that I am worthy of love without effort, that I am beautiful, that the texture of my hair and that the shape of my curves, the size of my lips, the color of my skin, and the feelings that I have are all worthy and okay.” — Tracee Ellis Ross
