Self-Esteem and Confidence
Hello everyone! Welcome back to the Positively Healthy Mom Podcast. I’m Laura Ollinger, and today I am so excited to introduce my longtime friend, Jonny Pardoe, joining us all the way from England! Jonny is the host of not one but two incredible podcasts—The Self-Esteem and Confidence Mindset Podcast and The Men’s Mental Health and Growth Podcast. His passion for helping others understand the intricacies of self-esteem and confidence is both inspiring and empowering.
Jonny’s insights are truly life-changing, as he helps us dive into the difference between self-esteem and confidence—two concepts that are deeply connected yet uniquely important in shaping how we navigate life.
The Difference Between Self-Esteem and Confidence
Jonny and I explore the fascinating distinction between self-esteem and confidence. In Jonny’s words, self-esteem is all about how much you like yourself, independent of external achievements or accolades. It’s about that deep inner sense of worth and value.
Confidence, on the other hand, is the trust you have in your ability to do something—whether it’s a skill, task, or goal. While the two are connected, understanding the difference is key to approaching personal growth in a healthy and sustainable way.
Rediscovering Self-Worth as Moms
As moms, we often find ourselves putting everyone else’s needs first, leaving little time or energy to focus on our own self-worth. Jonny shares practical advice on how we can rediscover and rebuild our self-esteem, even in the midst of busy schedules and endless responsibilities. He emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and encourages us to see ourselves beyond the roles we play in our families.
Building Confidence Through Small Wins
Jonny offers actionable tips for building confidence through small, intentional steps. He explains how setting achievable goals and celebrating small wins can help moms develop trust in their abilities. Whether it’s learning a new skill, tackling a challenging situation, or simply taking time for self-care, these small steps can create a ripple effect that boosts both confidence and overall well-being.
Practical Tools for Self-Esteem and Confidence
Throughout our conversation, Jonny shares practical tools to help you strengthen both your self-esteem and confidence. From journaling exercises that encourage self-reflection to strategies for reframing negative self-talk, Jonny’s insights are easy to implement and highly effective. These tools are perfect for moms looking to prioritize their personal growth and mental health.
Breaking Free from Societal Expectations
Jonny and I also discuss the societal expectations that often weigh heavily on moms, impacting both self-esteem and confidence. He provides thoughtful advice on how to break free from these pressures and focus on what truly matters—your own sense of happiness and fulfillment.
Overcoming Setbacks with Grace
Jonny understands that personal growth isn’t always a straight line. He encourages us to view setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth rather than failures. By practicing self-compassion and celebrating progress, no matter how small, we can stay motivated and continue moving forward.
Empowering Moms to Thrive
At its core, this conversation is about empowerment—helping moms not only survive but thrive. Jonny’s passion for helping others is evident in his thoughtful, actionable advice, and his unique perspective will leave you feeling inspired and equipped to take charge of your self-esteem and confidence journey.
