Resilience is a skill that we learn through hardship. Tough circumstances mold us, they turn us into sharks and force us to keep going, keep pushing forward in order to succeed. Self-esteem takes a lot of believing in yourself and believing that you can conquer and overcome everything. It means being imperfect and confident with your imperfections.

The fifth episode of the Elizabeth Sutton podcast, Success by Design, called Learning to Love Yourself, features Alvina Alston, media and PR guru. Alvina has experienced serious trauma and loss throughout her life and is the epitome of a resilient human being.

Hearing her story, hearing her struggles - you’ll almost be shocked by how incredible she is. She is a role model for her community. Let her experiences inspire you to love yourself. We are only able to love others when we truly love ourselves. 

Listen to her story.
