We've learned to challenge the inner critic (Ep 2) and practice self-compassion (Ep 3). But what about the part of your brain that still demands "proof" of your value?
This episode is the final tool in The Self-Esteem Toolkit. It's an actionable, step-by-step guide to creating a "portfolio of your worth." This isn't about arrogance; it's about building a factual, undeniable case for your own positive qualities, strengths, and past successes.
This portfolio becomes your concrete evidence—a powerful tool you can turn to when your inner critic is loud and your feelings of self-worth are low.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:
✅ Why "feeling" worthy isn't always enough (and why you need hard evidence).
✅ A step-by-step guide to starting your "Portfolio of Worth" today.
✅ Practical techniques to identify your own strengths and positive qualities (even when it feels unnatural or difficult).
✅ How to use this portfolio as a real-time defence against your inner critic.
✅ How this final tool integrates with self-compassion to build a truly resilient sense of self.
