The Balance Theory

Break This One Habit and Watch Your Self-Worth Transform w Davina Rankin


Listen Later

If you've ever felt like your worth depends on what you do, how you look, or who approves of you — you're not alone. In this raw and empowering conversation, Davina Rankin opens up about her journey of chasing external validation through modelling, relationships, and perfectionism… and what it took to finally feel enough without it.


We dive deep into:

✨ The habit that keeps you stuck in cycles of not-enoughness

✨ Why external validation feels so addictive — and how to stop relying on it✨ The emotional shift that comes from choosing yourself first

✨ How motherhood, celibacy, and solitude helped Davina reclaim her worth


This episode is a MUST-listen if you’re tired of seeking approval, performing for love, or feeling like you constantly have to prove yourself. It’s time to break the cycle and remember: your worth isn't something you earn — it's something you own.
