Selena Gomez sobre aprender a quererse

Lingard

This text is an educational adaptation of the podcast On Purpose with Jay Shetty featuring Selena Gomez. The original conversation was longer and more complex, but here it's simplified for language learning. It focuses on Selena's experience with insecurity, how comparisons and external voices affected her, and the steps she took to find self-love through therapy, family, boundaries, and daily self-kindness practices.
