Rosa Coelho sits down with her cousin Yvonne, a trainer and coach of 34 years, for an honest conversation about self-worth, boundaries, and the inner critic that tells us we aren’t enough. Through personal stories and practical examples, they explore where negative self-talk begins, how to challenge it, and how small, repeated choices can strengthen the relationship you have with yourself. They also discuss what self-worth looks like in everyday life, why self-care isn’t selfish, and how the way we value ourselves shapes the relationships and experiences we allow into our lives. This episode offers a compassionate reminder that growth doesn’t mean fixing who you are. It means learning to see your worth and live from it.   Connect with Yvonne through email: [email protected] Connect with Rosa: Instagram: @rocofit Website: rocofit.com Email: [email protected] Want to get stronger, eat better, and feel your best after 40?
