Ep. 257: My Sister and I Reflect on Our Trip to France! (Real Talk on Self-Esteem and Sisterhood)
In this special episode, I sit down with my little sister to reflect on our unforgettable trip to France. Though my self-esteem was tested, it was a journey that made me and my sister closer than ever. From the cobblestone streets of Paris to the Mediterranean breeze in Nice, we share how travel can shape your confidence, challenge your mindset, and create memories you’ll never forget.
You will hear about…
- the sister fights we had in France (and how we repaired)
- our best and worst moments from the trip, including my “haircut from hell” that totally tested my self-esteem
- what I learned about my perfectionism and personal growth
- my sister’s relationship with art, her supportive art teacher, and how creative expression has shaped her self-esteem and sense of identity
- how it feels to turn 17 and the pressure of feeling like you have to figure out who you’re supposed to be
Though this podcast is usually about self-love, body image, and confidence for women, I hope you enjoy this conversation with my sister. We learned so much about each other, the beauty and complexity of family, and how embracing imperfections can lead to genuine connection. Traveling together magnified our insecurities but also opened our hearts to more empathy and understanding—both for ourselves and for each other.
Remember: you don’t have to have everything perfectly planned out to be worthy of love, adventure, and self-compassion, and connection. Growth happens in the messy, unpolished moments, not just the picture-perfect ones. Your self-esteem might waver, and your confidence might crack, but you are enough exactly as you are.
