Such a great interview with Christine Baird. She is a worth expert and teaches others through her podcast "The Worthfull Project" how to own their own worth. Learning that and coming to a place of "knowing" that you don't have to earn your worth fills your soul with love as you come to believe and accept that it's already in you. You just have to remember that it's there and always has been. Remembering changes your life. You now know that you are deserving of all that is good and the effort and time it takes to learn, grow, and heal. You are worth it! She says, "I'M FASCINATED WITH WORTH. I'M OBSESSED WITH PODCASTS." " I teach people how to podcast like big wigs, I train teams to become in- house media producers. I speak and write about what it means to own my worth. It's the funnest job I've ever given myself". Her podcast and contact info as well as her full bio is in the show notes. She's a wildly successful capable woman and continues to go after her dreams.
