    "Stay At Home" refresher: How to maintain your self-esteem Apr 20, 2020
    Show notes

    Since everyone's doing their part by staying at home, it's giving us all time to work on ourselves and our relationships. So, we here at "For Dummies: The Podcast" thought it would be a good idea to revisit some of the episodes that can help us do just that. In times like these – especially if you've experienced a job loss – our self-esteem can really take a hit. We've got you covered with this episode of "Self-esteem For Dummies."

    Having healthy self-esteem means liking yourself, holding yourself in high regard. You might be saying to yourself "What's the big deal, that's easy," but if you are, you're fooling yourself. Self-esteem is a big problem, especially among younger people, and especially in the social media age. This week host, Eric Martsolf, is diving into "Self-Esteem For Dummies" by Vivian Harte and S. Renee Smith. Both women are experts in assertiveness and maximizing human performance.
