I'm your host, relationship coach Stephanie Rigg,

and I'm really glad you're here. Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On Attachment.

In today's episode, we're going to be talking all about self-worth. I think that this is something

that a lot of people really struggle

with. I know that I get a lot of messages about it, people saying, how can I be kinder to myself?

How can I love myself more? And so it's obviously an issue that resonates with a lot of people,

but what I often see and something that I have a bit of a gripe about is a lot of

advice in the self-help space around self-love. Oftentimes, the idea of self-love is just so far away

from people's realities. Advice saying like, oh, just unconditionally love yourself or, you know,

you've got to love yourself first or all of these

really massive statements it's just so abstract that it's not helpful for people who might be in a

really shitty place in terms of their relationship with themselves they might not even like

themselves let alone love themselves so I think just telling someone to love

themselves is like, oh great, and I'll do that with my magic wand, will I? So I'm hoping that

rather than focusing on something like self-love that can seem a little bit abstract and far away,

we can work more tangibly on how to build self-worth and to really cultivate that relationship

with yourself through action rather than just writing an affirmation in lipstick on a mirror

and hoping that everything magically fixes itself. So that's what we're going to be talking about

today. I'm going to be offering you five tips to that

end. Before I do that, I want to share the podcast review of the week. This review says,
