Why do complexes develop? How do parents, classmates, and society shape our self-esteem? Is it possible to overcome shyness if you've been teased your whole life? In this episode, expats in Russia—Kai from China and Jordan from England—share stories about what they're embarrassed about and how these insecurities arose.

We discuss how to become the best version of yourself, using humor, sports, and psychology to reclaim your power. We also discuss what national insecurities are—for example, why Chinese people feel inferior to Europeans, and why English people might be ashamed of their accent.

What insecurities did you have—and how did you overcome them?
