The Self-Worth Safari
How do we apply self-worth to life and work—particularly now that so many people are in transition? The Self-Worth Safari podcast is a series of conversations with a variety of professionals who lead, create, cajole, encourage, train, nurture self-worth with other people. You will hear a wide range of accents, voices and experience. Some work with the young, others with the experienced. Some have been through hard times. All are passionate and inspired by what they do. Listen, enjoy… and maybe join in?

Self-Worth in student life
John Niland from Self-Worth Academy interviews John Perry who is a principal teaching fellow in healthcare communication in Southampton University. He is also a freelance coach, counselor and therapist with particular interest in psychological resilience.
In this episode, we explore student struggles when it comes to their self-worth, particularly when it relates to performance. Medical students are often the "top" students throughout their early student life... so when getting into university and not being able to be top of the class, many start facing new mental-health challenges. Self-worth soon sits centre-stage, sometimes in quite tragic ways.
