Self-Worth, Self-Esteem, and Handling Situations as the Child or the Adult

Leave a Comment

Your self-worth starts when you interpret what your parents or caretakers think about you. If you interpret that they don’t value you, you don’t value yourself.

Is fate what we make or what we create? In segment one, I talk about a quote from Carl Jung on this very topic.

Today’s listener email has to do with being caught in a lie with family and what to do in the aftermath. It’s an interesting listen in segment two.

For segment three, I talk about spotting fake or forced laughter. In the final segment, I share my thoughts about a very dysfunctional family member of mine who’s trying to worm his way back into my family’s lives but is having a heck of a time getting any cooperation (hint, it’s my stepfather).
