Who are you when you're not checking things off a to-do list?
In a world that glorifies hustle and burnout, we’re constantly taught that our value is tied to how much we do, achieve, or produce.

But your worth was never meant to be measured by output.

In this validating episode of The Fearless & Worthy Series, clinical psychologist Dawn Petgrave Smith, and fitness coach Sherine Petgrave joins us to unpack:

• Why we equate busyness with value—and how that mindset starts early
• How the hustle culture shaped the way we define success
• How to create space for rest, joy, and purpose without guilt
• How to identify the signs that someone is overworking to prove their value

If you’ve ever felt like you only matter when you’re achieving something, this episode is your permission slip to be enough, just as you are.

✅ Self-Worth Tip of the Week: Take one intentional break this week—with no guilt and no “catching up” later. You are not behind.

Why does saying “no” feel like you’re doing something wrong—even when you know it’s what’s best for you?

If you've ever said yes just to avoid disappointing someone—or felt guilty for setting boundaries—this episode is your reminder that self-worth starts with self-respect.

In this powerful conversation, psychologist Dawn Petgrave Smith returns to help us understand:

• Why do so many people struggle to say "no" without guilt?
• How does setting boundaries strengthen self-worth?
• What should someone do if people push back against their boundaries... and much more.

Whether you’re a parent, partner, employee, or leader—your peace matters too.
 And guess what? Saying no doesn’t make you less kind. It makes you more honest.

✅ Self-Worth Challenge: This week, say no to one thing that drains your energy, and yes to something that nourishes you. No guilt. No apology.

What if the only thing standing between you and the life you want… is the belief that you’re not enough?

In this powerful opening to The Self-Worth Series, we’re dismantling the lies self-doubt tells us—and replacing them with truth.

Our special guest, Dawn Petgrave Smith, a licensed clinical psychologist, joins us to explore:
🔹 Why self-doubt shows up for both men and women in different ways
🔹 How childhood, culture, and comparison fuel feelings of unworthiness
🔹 Tangible mindset shifts to silence your inner critic
🔹 How to rebuild confidence after years of self-doubt
🔹 And why your worth has never been up for debate

Whether you’ve been playing small, second-guessing your decisions, or waiting for permission to feel worthy—this conversation is your wake-up call.

💡 You are enough. Right now. As you are.

✅ Self-Worth Challenge: Reframe one negative belief about yourself into something empowering. Say it out loud. Write it down. Start there.

Welcome to The Purpose Clarity Series! 🎉

I created this five-part mini-series because I know how frustrating it can feel to be stuck—unsure of your next step, doubting yourself, and wondering if you’ll ever find the clarity you’re looking for. If you’ve been searching for direction, feeling lost in your career or personal life, or just wanting to build something more meaningful, this series is for you.

Over the next five episodes, we’re going to break down the exact steps to help you:

✅ Understand why you feel stuck and what to do about it
✅ Gain clarity on your strengths, values, and purpose
✅ Overcome fear and self-doubt that’s holding you back
✅ Learn how to stay consistent even when motivation fades
✅ Build long-term momentum so you don’t just start—you keep going

Each episode is designed to give you practical steps, relatable stories, and powerful mindset shifts that will help you move forward with confidence. And at the end of every episode, I’ll leave you with five affirmations to reinforce everything we’ve covered, so you’re not just learning—you’re embodying this new mindset.

If you’re ready to break free from feeling stuck and start creating a purpose-driven life, then let’s dive in.
