Why Is It So Hard to Believe We’re Worthy?

Psychologist Marisa Franco's latest work dives into the complexities of self-esteem, challenging the relentless pursuit of feeling worthy. Franco argues that our attempts to constantly boost our self-worth often lead to deeper insecurity. This exploration is crucial as it sheds light on why many people struggle with feelings of inadequacy despite external validation. Franco's insights suggest a more compassionate approach to self-acceptance, urging us to embrace our imperfections and insecurities rather than striving for an unachievable sense of worthiness.
