Have you ever had something good show up in your life — a compliment, an opportunity, a purchase, a moment of ease — and instead of enjoying it, you quietly wondered if you were actually worth it?

This week on Myth Busting Monday, Heather explores one of the most subtle and limiting beliefs many of us carry:

“I’m allowed to attract good things… I’m just not allowed to get comfortable with them.”

Using a simple but revealing real-life moment — Christmas shopping and discovering the true cost of an everyday perfume — Heather unpacks how unworthiness often disguises itself as being sensible, practical, or modest.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

1. Why unworthiness isn’t loud — it’s quiet and habitual
2. How we minimise, justify, or ration joy without realising it
3. The difference between being grounded and playing small
4. Why receiving is just as important as creating
5. A gentle awareness experiment to help you let the good stuff land

This isn’t about money, luxury, or indulgence.

It’s about whether you allow what you consciously create to stay in your life.

This Week’s Awareness Experiment: “Let It Land”

When something good shows up this week, pause.

Don’t explain it away.

Don’t minimise it.

Simply say:

“I allow this to land.”

Notice what comes up — that’s where the work is.
