We discuss the importance of defining the difference between self-esteem and confidence, the importance of how we speak to ourselves and what you can do to help you get that extra boost when you need it.

In this episode, Jenni, Trudy, and Advita delve into how to build self-esteem and understand it further.
Imposter syndrome often means that we feel like we're frauds, we feel like we don't belong, we feel like we shouldn't get the job. And one day we're going to be found out! But is imposter syndrome a helpful label that stops us from exploring things deeper?
Is it your confidence or your self-esteem that needs to be focussed on? Are your feelings based on your perception, environment, or other external factors?
Do you think you have high or low self-esteem?
Listen along to this episode to help you with identifying those questions.

An interesting debate between our Calm Edged Rebels sparked by reading the book by Tomas Erikson, Surrounded by Idiots. Do you find it hard to work with people you do not like? Are you aware of your personality type? And how this links to your everyday life, at home or at work? Or how you compromise or adapt to situations?
In this episode, you will be left considering about how we make broad assumptions about why somebody has behaved a certain way towards us and use the tips and suggestions to guide you through this.
