#77 You Are Worthy!
Join me on the Listen for Life podcast, where we explore the power of affirmations and worthiness. Discover how affirmations can boost self-esteem and emotional resilience, and how they can help with aphasia challenges. Caregivers can also benefit from affirmations, finding support for burnout, inadequacy, isolation, financial strain, and balance. Learn the Speak formula to create effective affirmations, and find out how repetition, visualization, and adaptation can make them stick. Don't forget to create and share your own affirmations for added support!
