How do you hold on to your sense of worth in a world that keeps trying to name you, shape you, and measure you?

This episode is a simple but necessary conversation about where your worth truly comes from, and why it can’t be anchored to things that shift with seasons, trends, or people’s opinions.

I talked about:

• Why tying your worth to achievements, success, or roles will always leave you feeling unstable

• What it really means for your worth to come from a place that doesn’t change

• How to rethink the stories the world has told you about who you are

• A reminder of the identity God gave you before labels, titles, or expectations
  

If you’ve ever felt lost in who you are or unsure of what makes you valuable, this episode brings you back to the steady truth,

This week’s episode is one of those heart-to-heart conversations we all need.

You know that feeling where you hit a big milestone and instead of feeling full, you feel strangely empty?

In this episode, we’re talking self-worth; what it actually is, why it feels so slippery sometimes, and why tying it to things that shake (people, achievements, beauty, success, validation… all of it) will always leave you anxious, restless, or constantly trying to “prove” yourself.

We’ll walk through:

• Why your achievements never feel like “enough”
• The celebrity stories that reveal the truth about emptiness, and
• How we can unlearn attaching our worth to things that constantly change.

Grab your earphones, get comfortable, and let’s unpack this together.

First off, quick apology, the audio might sound a bit off today. I had a chest complication while recording, but I still wanted to show up regardless.

Now, today's episode is also about mirrors, but not the one in your bathroom, but the one glowing in your hand: social media.

We’re unpacking how doomscrolling slowly dents your self-esteem, how comparison sneaks in dressed as motivation, and why maybe your affirmations aren’t the problem — your reflection is.

Highlights:

• The internet is not your mirror.
• You’re probably not insecure; you’re just online too much.
• Social media gaslit your self-esteem, and you didn’t even notice.
• Maybe it’s not affirmations you need, just a break from the feed.

You know how everyone keeps saying, “Speak it into existence,” like it’s a magic spell?

But what happens when you’ve said it, written it, repeated it… and you still don’t believe a single word?

In this episode, we’re talking about positive affirmations, and your brain’s arguing with your mirror pep talk.

We’ll unpack:

• How to actually feel the words you’re saying
• The link between self-trust and self-talk
• And how to rewrite those silent scripts that shape how you see yourself

Michael has done everything right. The sticky notes, the mirror talk, the “I am enough” chants that echo through his room every morning. But for some reason, life still isn’t giving what it’s supposed to give.

In this episode, we talk about why.

Why affirmations sometimes flop, why your brain doesn’t fall for empty words, and what to actually do instead.

If you’ve ever stared in the mirror, chanting “I am beautiful” while your brain side-eyed you like you're a liar, this one is for you.

How do you look in the mirror and be proud of what you see — in a world that shoves its beauty standards down your throat and makes you feel like you’re nothing if you don’t measure up?

What does it mean to rest?

No, I'm not talking about going to bed after a long day of hustling and grinding.

‎I'm talking about not being so dependent on your job that you're caught in the web of capitalism.

‎‎I'm talking about being anxious for nothing, even when everything gives you a reason to be.

I’m talking this and everything in between.

We live in a world that equates non-stop momentum with success, but is that really all there is to leading a successful life?

In this episode, I share my journey with rest and lessons I’ve picked up along the way.

I believe it will bless you. Enjoy 🧡
