How to Gain Self-Respect & Earn Respect ...

Maria Fuentes
About this episode

Do you struggle with self-respect and setting boundaries? Do you feel like people don’t respect you the way you deserve?

In this episode of *You First: A Journey to Self*, we’re diving deep into the power of self-respect, how it influences the way others treat you, and the key habits that help you gain confidence and establish healthy boundaries.

You'll learn:
✨ Why keeping your word is essential for earning respect
✨ How to communicate with clarity and emotional control
✨ The importance of presenting yourself with confidence
✨ Why being "nice" isn’t the same as being respected
✨ The balance between being stern and flexible in relationships

Plus, I’m sharing personal insights on how self-respect has shaped my life, career, and relationships-and how you can embody the same confidence to create the life you truly desire.
