The importance of self worth

In this conversation on U105, Deirdre speaks about the critical importance of self-worth and how it underpins every personal choice we make — especially when it comes to our health. She shares the idea of ‘value tagging’, encouraging us to treat ourselves with the same care, respect, and priority we naturally give to the things we treasure most.

Deirdre emphasises that when we truly understand our own value, it becomes easier to make decisions that honour our wellbeing. She also highlights the power of optimism and mindset in helping us move towards our personal goals — that it’s not just about what we do, but how we see ourselves while doing it.

She offers practical ways to strengthen self-worth, such as journaling and positive affirmations, tools that help us reconnect with our inner value and stay committed to the journey — like the one so many are taking with "The Shred."

At the heart of her message is this: when you value yourself, your choices naturally start to reflect that truth.
