What does it mean to live with dignity?

In this episode of The Inner Space, we explore how dignity differs from worth and why so many of us feel disconnected from it.

Unlike worth, which is often tied to what we do, dignity is about who we are. It’s quiet, rooted, and unwavering. But growing up, many of us are conditioned to believe we must earn even the right to feel whole.

Together, we reflect on how this disconnect forms, how it shapes our nervous system and relationships, and how we begin to reclaim a sense of dignity that doesn’t depend on doing more, being more, or proving ourselves.

Drawing from neuroscience, developmental psychology, and lived experience, Sriram explores:

• The difference between worth and dignity and why it matters
• How early experiences teach us to abandon ourselves to belong
• The cost of internalised shame on our body and sense of self
• How self-compassion becomes a way to return to dignity

This episode includes quiet reflections, micro-practices, and gentle invitations to pause, to come home to the part of you that has always been worthy of respect and care.

It’s not about earning your place.

It’s about remembering you’ve always belonged.

Feeling stuck in a loop of always needing to do more, have more, be more?

This exercise is for you.

In a world wired for more — more productivity, more money, more approval — how often have you paused to ask: ”What is ‘enough’ for me?”

Through gentle prompts, this track guides you across six key areas of life: money, time, quality, love, work, and health. You’ll be asked to journal what “enough” truly looks and feels like, so you can stop chasing more and start living from sufficiency.

This practice is for anyone who:

🖋 Wants to reconnect with what truly matters — and what is already working

🖋 Feels stuck in the loop of always needing to have more

🖋 Longs to trade the pressure of perfection for the ease of presence

All you need is a journal and a quiet space.

🧘‍♀️ You can return to this exercise anytime you feel overwhelmed or disconnected.

🎙 Part of The Inner Space series — new episodes and guided tools drop every alternate Tuesday.

Take a breath. Make space.

And define enough — on your own terms.
