Summary

Ask David: What’s Self-Esteem? What’s Self-Acceptance?

In today’s podcast we address six common questions about self-esteem, including:

What is Self-Esteem?
How does it differ from self-confidence?
How does it differ from self-acceptance?
What’s the difference between conditional and unconditional self-esteem?
What’s the best way to develop self-esteem?
What do you mean when you say that once you develop unconditional self-esteem, you should get rid of it as fast as possible?

Please keep the questions coming. We enjoy the exchange of ideas with all of you. Thanks!

Brandon Vance and Heather Clague begin today’s show with a pitch for their upcoming Feeling Great App Group, an 8 week experience that will begin in September. If you use the Feeling Great App, or plan to get it, this group would be an inexpensive and incredible enhancement, so you can meet with like-minded people once a week to schmooze, practice the techniques in the app, and get your questions answered by compassionate and personable experts.
