Have you ever noticed that some relationships make you feel inferior, insecure, or even guilty for putting yourself first?

In this episode, Ellen Jabour talks with psychologist Pamela Magalhães about self-esteem, relationships, boundaries, and the importance of learning to recognize your own worth.

After all, relationships can act as mirrors: through others, we often see parts of ourselves, our insecurities, our wounds, and also what we need to transform.

During the conversation, they discuss:

• How to identify relationships that truly benefit you
• Why we have so much difficulty saying “no”
• The guilt that arises when we start prioritizing ourselves
• How to differentiate a true perception from our own projection
• The importance of setting boundaries
• Why self-esteem changes how we choose who stays in our lives
• How to develop self-confidence and self-worth
• The danger of living trying to please others
• The difference between being who you really are and living behind a “character”
• Practical exercises to start strengthening self-esteem

One of the central ideas of the conversation is simple, but profound: if you don't learn to take care of yourself, you may spend your life waiting for someone else to do it for you.

And building self-esteem doesn't mean thinking you're better than others. It means recognizing your own worth, respecting your own limits, and being able to say: “I can count on myself.”

Watch the full episode and reflect: are you choosing your relationships based on self-love or the fear of being alone?
