Worthfull Project

"Coming home to myself is the intention. Honoring my boundaries and living my values is the method.

This is the beginning of Season 3 of the Worthfull Project podcast! I am delighted to be here and to announce some lovely new developments with the podcast.

First, the theme of this season on the show (and in my life) is "coming home to myself." Every episode with explore this topic and how it relates to owning one's worth. I'm as excited as anyone to discover this along the way.

Second, I'm going to be posting 3 episodes a month and then 1 guest interview. The guests will all be fantastic. It's going to be a great season.

If you've been along with me on the worthfull journey so far, here's to the best year yet. If you're joining me now, welcome. You are on a beautiful path.

"We were born with the innate abilities to be at peace."

Wowie! Episode 100! It didn't hit me that the podcast has come this far until I edited today's episode, recorded with my bestie and bi-annual co-host Rebecca.

I am feeling a little emotional as I write this (also because I went to therapy today) and I'm letting it all come up. This podcast is the longest running personal project I've ever taken on. It's something I have learned to value, cherish, and commit to, even when I am tempted to skip it, downplay it, or just coast for a while.

In commemoration of two years of the show, the end of 2019, and the start of a new chapter of life, Rebecca and I discussed the ways we are learning to cultivate inner peace, let go of what we no longer need, and turn our hearts and minds forward to what we want to create. Thank you for being with me on this worthfull journey.

"Home will always be a construct of my mind and heart."

It's the holidays (which I love), so I'm thinking about home, family, tradition, gratitude, etc. This is the last solo episode of Season 2 of the show, so I tuned into myself to see what I wanted to talk about.

The word home came to me as a feeling, not a place. I've lived all over the country, so to me, this is normal. But as I thought about home from a worthfull perspective, it reminded me that we create home within ourselves when we own our worth. I recorded this little episode for anyone who is wondering how the holidays are going to feel homey this year. Because they always can, no matter what.

"We only receive the things we believe we are worthy to have."

I have waited about six months to bring you today's episode. Not intentionally, just because of scheduling and distractions, etc. But it's worth the wait.

I met my beautiful friend Tara a year ago at a birthday party and I have been continually impressed by who she is and what she is creating in the world. By profession, she is an amazing makeup artist for television and film. But her bigger work goes beyond that and is about helping people see their true inner beauty.

Tara brings so much wisdom and heart to this conversation. She shares her light and stories with so much love. I was on a high the whole rest of the day. We discuss some of my very favorite topics in this episode, including our relationship to beauty, abundance, and "worth nirvana," as Tara calls it. It's one of my favorite episodes I've recorded so far.

• How our beliefs create our reality (8:41)
• What it takes to fall in love with ourselves (13:01)
• Where to start when you are ready to re-invent your self-worth (16:04)

• What comes after accepting your full worth (23:52)
• How the law of abundance works with owning your worth (26:30)

• How to navigate the resistance against doing what you are meant to do (36:34)

"It is no coincidence that you are on the planet right now living the life you are living."

I recorded a podcast episode today with a beautiful friend that I'll share next week. Stay tuned. After we finished recording, we had a really special conversation in which she acknowledged me for what I am giving to the world because I am choosing to own my worth. That stuck with me the whole day and I was still thinking about it tonight, so I recorded a solo episode on my thoughts.

I believe we are all designed with a very unique offering to give the world while we are here in it. It has nothing to do with being the best at something or making a certain level of impact. It's just part of the bigger plan of life - we each give a valuable contribution. So if we don't give what we are here to give, we are robbing the people who are waiting to receive our offering. I hope this will be a reminder to you, as it was to me today, that the world needs the contribution that only you can give.

"You're not the only one going through whatever you are going through."

I met a beautiful woman at a podcasting workshop I taught a few weeks ago. She came up after the class and gave me her book. She told me she also is on a journey to own her worth and share her experience. So naturally, I invited her on the podcast.

Roxanne was married to a sex addict for 21 years and lived through the trauma of constant betrayal and lies. Of course it required her to reinvent her relationship to her worth, her intuition, and to others. She has since written a book about her healing journey, and she now speaks often to audiences about this process of remembering your worth.

I loved this conversation because it's so clear that Roxanne has done (and is always doing) THE work - that deep inner cleaning and sorting of everything that doesn't serve you in order to become in total ownership of your worth.

• What to do when you think you're the only one going through what you're going through (3:23)
• Why it can be hard but very important to tell yourself the truth (7:46)
• When you must hand over responsibility for someone's actions to them (11:59)
• What it can look like to remember your worth after forgetting it (19:58)
• How to reunite with your intuition after feeling separated from it (25:21)
• How to avoid blaming and shaming yourself while doing deep inner work (28:25)
• Where hopeful confidence comes from during challenging times (31:42)
• How to trust in love again after you have been betrayed (33:50)
• What long-term challenges teach us about self-love and self-worth (38:43)

"I am enough. I have enough. There is enough."

I've been reading Ryan Holiday's new book, Stillness Is the Key, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Today I read a chapter about being at peace with having enough. And it got me thinking that we always already have enough.

This is an interesting topic, laced with lots of emotion and opinion. It deals with scarcity, survival, comparison, power, validation, and much more. So I wanted to record a solo episode sharing my thoughts about what it means to be enough and have enough - already, always. I got a little fired up while talking about this - I can tell I have more thoughts coming on this.

"Hard times happen, and it has nothing to do with our worth."

When things are challenging, it's easy for me to focus on how I'm not enough, how I deserve to struggle, and how it's all my fault. Don't know if you can relate, haha. However, even though I'm in a challenging chapter right now, supporting my boyfriend through a transitional, disruptive time, I've really felt the power of my worthfull habits sustaining me.

I recorded a little solo episode, as a reminder to myself of at least four things I've learned about how to navigate struggles and challenges worthfully. Once again, this podcast has been a blessing to keep me accountable to my own worthfull journey - at all times.

"Try to see your own worth creatively."

I got to sit down and record an episode with a friend of over a decade this past week. Emily and I met when we were babies in our twenties in Texas. Both our lives look drastically different than when we became friends. But we've been learning so many of the same lessons about worth.

Emily is an incredible jazz singer, teacher, podcast host, and all around creative. She's been through really intense challenges to her worth - through her family and profession - and you can tell her wisdom and courage comes from those experiences.

We dive into many topics in this conversation including how to view your worth as a creative, go out of your comfort zone, handle really difficult family dynamics, and embrace our inner love of magic as adults. It's a great conversation, in my humble opinion. Also, something wonky was happening with the mics during this recording, so please forgive the little scratchy sound that randomly shows up here and there. C'est la vie.

• Why Emily considers her recent work her first "authentic" work (3:15)
• Why "not being good enough" syndrome is so crippling for creativity (5:45)
• How to face uncomfortable truths about how you were raised (8:23)
• Why letting go of responsibility for not measuring up to someone's expectations can be so scary (10:40)
• What helps start the process of healing from worth wounds (13:31)
• Why getting out of your comfort zone supports your worth (16:58)
• Why it's so important to let yourself be imaginative and creative (18:40)
• How to manage critical self-talk (20:30)
• How to navigate parental disapproval (29:30)
• What it feels like to own your worth while redefining yourself (33:20)
• What being honest about our pain and challenges teaches us about our worth (36:25)
• How to set healthy boundaries around your worth and circumstances (37:30)

"A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention." - Herbert Simon

I have become VERY interested in stillness and mindfulness in the last year. Since moving from LA to Salt Lake City, I've slowed everything down. It's been magical.

I've also become more and more aware of the mental health challenges that affect all of us everyday. These are all intertwined in my mind. Self-worth, mental health, mindfulness, slowing down. So I recorded a solo episode, inspired by a new book I'm reading, on what I'm learning about my worth as I practice stillness as a mental health habit.
