In this episode of Divine Worth, I’m joined by Katie Loveless (@soulofgreatworth), who bravely shares her journey through chronic illness, suicidal thoughts, and the pressures of being an overachiever. Katie opens up about the painful years of wrestling with self-worth, perfectionism, and feeling stripped of her identity. Yet, in the midst of her struggles, she found the profound truth that her value isn’t tied to productivity—it’s inherent, given by God.
Why embracing stillness and joy is essential in a world driven by busyness and achievement.
How slowing down allows you to truly hear and feel God’s presence.
The small and simple action of focusing on what fulfills you, letting go of what doesn’t, and intentionally seeking joy and gratitude in everyday moments.Why it Matters:
Katie’s story reveals how relying on our own strength can lead to burnout, but trusting in God allows us to grow into who He wants us to become. Her journey teaches us that our value is not determined by what we do but by who we are as daughters of God.
You’ll walk away with insights on how to embrace peace and stillness, deepen your connection with God, and let go of the need to constantly “do more” to feel worthy. Katie’s story is a powerful reminder that your worth is eternal and unchanging, regardless of life’s circumstances.
The Small and Simple Action:
Intentionally seek and create joy. Choose one thing that brings you joy, it could be going outside, playing or listening to music, or taking time to smell a candle with your favorite scent. Then create space for you to enjoy that.
