Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of In Bloom Podcast or welcome if you're new. My name is Abby

Eslin and I'm the host of this podcast and this week we're going to be talking about the journey of

I know I've talked a little bit about self-acceptance when I've talked a lot

about values and embracing authenticity in a lot of my episodes because a lot of self-acceptance has to do

with truly embracing who you are, knowing your values, and being authentic to yourself. Because without all of

those things, you can't really practice true self-acceptance, but I wanted to dive deeper into

self-acceptance this week. Because not only is it something that I think I've truly struggled with

my whole life, but especially it's something that I can notice in hindsight that I

struggled with. Like, I knew in the moment that I didn't have the highest self-esteem when I was

in high school, for example. And I knew that there were parts of me that I absolutely did not

accept. And looking back, I can see it a lot more clearly, and I can see the consequences of it a lot more

clearly and I can also just sort of see it all fold out whereas in the moment it didn't really feel

I didn't really know what I was doing to myself by not practicing true of self-acceptance
