I recorded my thoughts on the 2001 film, Joe Somebody featuring Tim Allen. I got so many wonderful takeaways from this wholesome movie. Often our self esteem stems from the people around us and our level of success. But it's important to see ourselves as worthwhile no matter the amount of people that rally behind us. This video is a shorty but a goodie. 

Love always, Esha
