"I started to wonder if I was worth spending my time on things that made me happy."

 

You may not have linked feeling overwhelmed to feeling low on self-worth.

Or maybe you have. 

I hadn't until about a year ago when I started to come out of a season of deep emotional overwhelm.

I spent about six months getting very curious about the overwhelm I was in (triggered by a family fall out initiated by my actions) and what I learned about myself and my worth set the stage for the Worthfull Project.

But it didn't occur to me to record a solo episode sharing what I've learned until my friend Rebecca suggested it.

And then I loved the idea because I've spent months thinking about this and wanted to share what I have learned in case it might support anyone else who is in deep overwhelm.

Here's the thing: it wasn't until I went deep down the rabbit hole of overwhelm that I began to face the truth about my worth -- and that it had nothing to do with how productive I was being in a day. It had everything to do with how I took care of myself.

If you have experienced or are experiencing any kind of overwhelm in your life, I invite you to take off your self-judgment lenses for a moment and reconsider what this feeling may be here to show you.
