Marisa Franco’s work on self-worth and self-esteem drives the discussion
Passion Struck with John R. Miles centers on Franco’s argument that achievement, compliments, and positive affirmations can worsen self-esteem when they conflict with self-image.[1][2]
On Passion Struck, John Miles says Franco connects low self-esteem with preferring negative views because positive treatment can create anxiety when it clashes with feeling unworthy.[1]
Something You Should Know presents Franco’s view that self-worth is a learnable skill, while discussing why people may struggle to feel good about themselves despite their accomplishments.[3]
Short Wave similarly focuses on Franco’s claim that people with genuine self-worth can admit when they do not feel worthy, framing self-esteem as an internal experience researchers study.[4]
Across the shows, the shared subject is self-worth and its relationship to achievement, outside validation, memories, and secure attachment; the excerpts do not show a disagreement.[5][6][4]
