"I add value by just being me."

I met a new friend at an open mic night (that she was performing at), and she started listening to the Worthfull Project when she found out about my podcast.

I'm always so flattered and grateful anytime anyone listens to the show, but when she told me she had some thoughts to share that would make a great episode, I was even more delighted.   When Katie and I sat down to record this episode, she started telling me about her experiences of growing up with an anxiety disorder, how she loved herself regardless, and what it taught her about self-worth.   I was mesmerized and knew this was what the episode needed to be about. Every one of us has struggles and imperfections in this life. It's so easy to believe that they make us less than or less lovable.

This conversation is all about the opposite -- and how we can find our worth through our quirks.
