b"At some point in our lives, we've all had times when we felt inadequate and imperfect about ourselves, whether due to a physical flaw or how we perceive ourselves. And the majority of the things we are doing to try to raise our self-esteem are entirely incorrect.\\nHowever, by recognizing that we always have the freedom and power to choose how situations in life will affect us, we can rise above challenges and build healthy esteem and self-love for ourselves. Whenever we have the self-confidence to solve issues on the inside, we set ourselves up for success.\\nIn this episode, I will tell the inspiring story of Lizzie Velasquez and use her account to teach the things that do work so that you can apply them in your own life to get those lasting changes on the inside and create healthy self-esteem.\\xa0\\nThank You to Our Sponsors:\\nSURF SHARK: Get 83% off Surf Shark VPN and three extra months free https://surfshark.deals/passionstruck; use the promo code passionstruck.\\nCOINBASE: For a limited time, new users can get $10 in free Bitcoin when you sign up today at www.Coinbase.com/PASSIONSTRUCK.\\nPODBEAN: Head on over to Podbean at www.podbean.com\\xa0and use the code PODCAST21 for your first thirty days of podcast hosting for free.\\nOur Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck\\nThank you for listening to this podcast.
