Regardless of age, we can hold onto negative beliefs about ourselves that can limit our potential for growth and well-being. Exploring the origins of these beliefs and developing a healthier sense of self-worth and self-esteem contributes to improving one’s overall emotional and physical health.

• Identifying negative beliefs about self – Where do these beliefs come from and how do we change them?

• Defining self-worth and self-esteem independent of physical traits.

• Cultivating a healthy sense of self in a social media age.

• Exploring the role of peer influence and acceptance in development of self-esteem.

• Exploration of body image, beliefs about beauty standards.

• Self-esteem – Developing a positive self-image in a culture that has very limiting ideas of what is beautiful. Furthermore, we live in a current climate where images and messaging on social media can inform us what is "good enough" – not just specific to beauty standards, but all metrics of how we define self-worth and value.
