#59 | Inner journey to the true self.

"Self-esteem is the foundation of our perception of life."

I'm not enough. No one wants me. I am not loved. Beliefs like these usually arise in our early childhood. And they often make us feel insecure in relationships as adults and make it difficult to build healthy relationships. But what if the key to a fulfilling life lies not in our relationships with others, but in ourselves? In our inner child, whose light-heartedness and creativity can help us to heal old wounds and develop a stable sense of self-worth. If this sounds like bestselling author Stefanie Stahl to you, then you can look forward to this SMP LeaderTalks episode just as much as we are - because our guest is none other than Stefanie Stahl herself.

"We all want recognition, because recognition is the currency of loyalty."

The psychologist and author of the bestseller "Das Kind in dir muss Heimat finden" is an expert on self-esteem and attachment anxiety. Her focus topic: the importance of the inner child and how we can have healthier and happier relationships by working on ourselves. Stahl talks to Georgiy Michailov about why it is so important to deal with our own childhood experiences. And how this can help us better understand and change our behavior patterns as adults.

"It's not true that two people always have to be part of a difficult relationship."

The two also talk about how to recognize and break through toxic relationship patterns. How to build strong self-esteem and lay the foundations for fulfilling relationships. And how we can learn to recognize our own needs and communicate better without falling back into old patterns of behaviour.
