Clarissa Burt: Reinvention, Resilience, and the Work of Self-Esteem
from Paul G's Corner Hosted by PAUL G NEWTON
More Than a Public Image Clarissa Burt has spent decades in public-facing work—as a former supermodel, actor, media personality, producer, author, and founder of In the Limelight Media. But our conversation is less about glamour than the distance that can exist between how the world sees someone and how that person sees herself. Clarissa also won the Italian version of Celebrity Survivor. She describes being dropped from a military helicopter into unexpectedly shallow water, the illness that swept through the camp, severe food rationing, and the realization that the real contest was not simply against the other participants. It was a test of herself. That idea leads directly into The Self-Esteem Regime. Clarissa describes self-esteem as our relationship with ourselves, our relationships with other people, how we allow ourselves to be treated, and who we are when no one else is in the room. Her advice to “take the high road” rests on four words: honesty, integrity, gratitude, and honor. The complete 48-minute conversation is above. We also discuss reinvention, media work, personal boundaries, empathy, social media, the pressure placed on young people, and why self-help only matters when we actually do the work.
