Episode #71: Sick, Stuck, and Still Worthy: Deborah Weed’s Powerful Midlife Comeback


Listen Later

In this inspiring episode, Deborah Weed opens up about her powerful transformation—from a high-achieving corporate career to becoming the founder of the Self-Worth Initiative and the Quills Up Movement. 💫

After a life-altering health crisis, Deborah began to reframe her understanding of value, moving from external validation to embracing her intrinsic worth. She shares how a simple 1943 copper penny sparked a personal revolution, leading her to create tools, stories, and a musical called Paisley to help women—especially in midlife—reclaim their creativity and self-worth.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • The difference between self-esteem and self-worth
  • Why creativity is a powerful force for healing and transformation
  • How women can advocate for themselves in a broken healthcare system
  • The emotional cost of disappointment vs. fear
  • Why community and connection are non-negotiables for true resilience

🔑 Whether you're navigating midlife, recovering from burnout, or searching for a deeper sense of meaning—Deborah’s wisdom will remind you: You are valuable, even when the world tells you otherwise.
