So, today’s episode is with someone I absolutely love having on the podcast - James Withey. He’s been on Healing 101 not once, but twice before, and both times were full of that honest, no-nonsense kind of wisdom that just really hits. If you haven’t already listened to those episodes, I’d really recommend going back and giving them a go. This time, we’re talking about something so many of us wrestle with: self-esteem. That nagging feeling that you’re not good enough, or that you’re somehow flawed at your core. James has written a beautiful, practical book called How to Sort Your Self-Esteem - and in true James fashion, he cuts right through the fluffy stuff.

We talk about why the “just love yourself” message is kind of unhelpful when you’re deep in self-doubt, how to spot those little moments of self-criticism that chip away at you, and how we can start — gently — to believe that we’re actually okay. Not perfect, not dazzling - just… okay. And how that can be enough. I found this conversation really helpful, and I think you might too.
