0:00.0	The first step to self-worth is a dear media production.
0:04.0	The first step to self-worth is of course fake it till you make it.
0:17.0	It's an external portion of self-worth and self-
0:21.0	that juiciness of like loving this experience of
0:24.9	selfhood. It's a really strange expression but in a world that is already so
0:29.1	self-oriented and so selfish and so me-me-me-me I don't want you to think that this episode is about how to love yourself more it's more about that level of self worth and we're going to go into otherness and togetherness a little bit later but first I want to start with the external and go inwards.
0:51.0	Fake it till you make it applies very much to, as I've spoken before,
0:56.4	manufacturing your looks. I have been average, I have been deemed attractive, I have been deemed attractive I have been invisible I have been every spectrum of

2:05.8	before that I just felt like a child I didn't really identify as pretty or
