About this episode
The episode explores the differences between self-esteem and self-confidence, and how external perceptions influence our self-image.
What's the difference between self-esteem and self-confidence—and why does something as simple as a pair of shoes sometimes spark the conversation? In this Wellness Wednesday episode, Beth, Robin, and Jeff explore how the way we present ourselves can shape how we feel on the inside. From compliments and comments to personal style choices, the crew reflects on how outside voices and inner dialogue influence confidence and self-worth. Do we dress for comfort, expression, or approval? And how do we find the balance between listening to feedback and staying true to ourselves? Join the Wellness Wednesday crew as they unpack identity, style, and the journey toward feeling comfortable in your own skin. Check out all the Wellness Wednesday episodes.
