Talk Description:
Surrounded by numerous constructs, we’re often troubled by others’ and our own judgments and evaluations about ourselves. Growing up without an emotionally available father, homeschooled, and lonely, I was also a part of unfortunate circumstances of being in several abusive relationships in my adulthood. My last relationship with a narcissist shattered my perception of being viewed as worthy of love. I started to believe that I didn’t deserve to be loved; I am not enough. After losing my self-esteem, I never quite thought that I’d get over what had just happened to me. Building myself up took a lot of courage, determination, motivation, and dedication. Seeing the worst side of life, fighting anorexia, self-doubts, anxiety disorder, and depression had shackled me entirely. Still, I followed the steps to freedom and self-empowerment to reach where I am today. This talk is about regaining my self-confidence to help others feel empowered because we’re all just stuck in our own minds, and all we need is just a push.
