A World Filled with False Confidence and Low Self Esteem ...Why and How Have We Got Here? with guest, award winning Life Coach and best selling Author, Holly Matthews

Confidence and Self Esteem, whilst are crucial components to achieving and feeling happiness, often get over looked in terms of what we teach our children in schools and in the home. We don't tend to focus on HOW to develop confidence and self esteem, rather we mostly assume one should just HAVE it. As a result, many of us grow into people pleasers, or focus on others needs above our own. Which causes deep rooted feelings of loneliness, loss, and uncertainty; unsure of who we truly are and what makes up the essence of us.

A lack of or low self esteem is a significant developmental problem for kids currently.

According to a recent study, in the US, 80% of kids entering year 1 at school score high on self esteem inventory. By year 5 that starts to decrease significantly down to only 20% of kids scoring high on self esteem and by high school graduation, that number plummets to a mere 5% of kids leaving high school with any semblance of confidence or self esteem.

On todays episode, host Jennie is joined by Holly Matthews. She is the founder of the award winning self development brand "The Happy Me Project" and best selling author of "The Happy Me Project: The No Nonsense Guide to Self Belief". Together, they tackle the hard questions of what is contributing to the plummet in children's self esteem, who is responsible for ensuring our kids are taught how to cultivate their confidence and self esteem, and why it is VITAL to our well being and personhood.

We are living in a world where false confidence rules and self esteem is virtually non existent. Jennie and Holly bring a no nonsense and real conversation about where we are going wrong with our kids and why we have generations of adults faking their confidence.
