Self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-actualisation. Have you ever wondered how you could develop more self-love and less imposter syndrome? We scale the pyramid of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to discuss what you can do to quieten the inner critic that makes you feel like you aren't good enough, and unpack how to reduce the constant need to seek external validation from others.
