What happens when your confidence shines in one area, but deep down, you struggle to believe in your worth? In this episode, Bri and Adrian explore the powerful differences between self-worth and self-confidence—and why understanding these differences is critical for growth. Through personal stories and practical insights, they discuss how self-worth influences relationships, careers, and how we show up in the world. From overcoming imposter syndrome to navigating spaces where you feel like you don’t belong, this episode is a relatable and thought-provoking guide to embracing your value. Key Takeaways:

• Self-Worth vs. Self-Confidence: Self-worth is the belief that you are inherently valuable, while self-confidence is belief in your abilities in specific areas.
• Motivation Matters: Healthy self-worth fuels a desire to add value to others rather than seeking approval or survival through achievements.
• The Role of Community: Having the right people around you helps you stay grounded and avoid arrogance or delusion.
• Reframing Failure: Failure is an opportunity to learn, not a reflection of your worth.
• Practical Tips to Grow Self-Worth:
1. Capture your thoughts and evaluate your motives.
2. Seek feedback from a select, trusted few rather than everyone.
3. Walk into rooms with curiosity rather than a need to prove yourself.

Reflection Questions:

• What happens when your confidence feels strong, but your self-worth doesn’t match it?
• What’s one step you can take this week to separate your worth from external validation?
