Why Your Affirmations Haven’t Stopped You from Hating Yourself

In this episode, we explore why saying 'I'm confident' or 'I'm enough' every morning doesn't truly change your self-perception. Find out why affirmations alone can't solve low self-esteem issues. Confidence isn't derived from mantras but from self-trust. If you consistently break promises to yourself, no number of sticky notes on the mirror will help.


We discuss:


— Why affirmations fail if you're not honest with yourself
— How confidence is built through evidence, not pretense
— The small daily promises that can either erode or build self-trust
— Why you still struggle with self-acceptance despite countless 'I am enoughs'
