High self-esteem or narcissism?

THE PSYCHOLOGY SISTERS
About this episode

Howdy howdy Listeners!!

Welcome back to another episode in which we are talking all things self-esteem!

How you feel about yourself impacts how you live your life.

We get a lot of messages that we should be working on our self-esteem, yet we are also told that it is arrogant to think to highly of ourselves - so which one is it? Where is the line?

Join us as we unpack the conflicting messages around self-esteem, narcissism and what it all means!


We hope you enjoy!
Aimee + Kat
