Hey !

I’ve been thinking about you as I wrapped up this episode, and I wanted to send you a note straight from the heart.

I struggled so, so much with my self-esteem as a teen. I constantly felt second best - in academics, in athletics, and even in my physical appearance. It was an uncomfortable, anxious season of my life. I didn’t know how to give myself grace, and I didn’t yet understand where my true worth really came from.

For a long time, I believed I had to earn my value. But the truth is, on my own, I could never be worthy of anything apart from my Savior, Jesus Christ. Scripture tells me that without Him, my righteousness is like filthy rags. But with Him… with Him I am chosen, cherished, and filled with hope for a better tomorrow.

That truth changed everything for me.

If self-esteem has felt slippery or fragile for you, I want you to know this: lasting confidence isn’t found in perfection or performance. It’s found in knowing who you are and Whose you are. Take this journey one step at a time. Progress matters more than perfection.

I’m so grateful you’re here, and I’m cheering you on every step of the way.

xo,

Kristen
