I have a question for you. What’s the common denominator in all of your relationships, the good ones and the not so good ones? That’s right – you! One of the most important relationships we have is with ourselves. If you’re not happy with you and you don’t like yourself very much let alone love yourself, how can you expect to be in happy and positive relationships with others? 

Research shows that positive self-esteem is linked with better mental and physical health. It also affects our interactions with others. So, how do you develop a healthy love for yourself? In this episode, find out what The Big Bang Theory‘s Penny and Sheldon can teach us about love, learn a 2-step process that you can use to build your self esteem and find out what the experts have to say about the importance of loving yourself!
