Worthfull Project

"I know my worth is not-negotiable."

I met a new fast friend last week through her publicist. Once I saw her dancing for fun on her Instagram, I knew she was the real deal.

Tracy Litt is a certified mindset coach, best selling author, rapid transformational therapist, and awe-inspiring speaker. She is the founder of The Litt Factor, a personal growth and coaching company, and Worthy Human, an inspirational and empowering merchandise line.

This conversation is not only a documentation of the beginning of our genuine friendship, but a gold mine of solid coaching on self-worth, mindset, and why taking responsibility for every part of your life is the beginning of a worthfull life.

• Why taking responsibility for everything in your life is key to self-worth (2:15)
• What has us not show up for our own lives (3:39)
• The turning point in Tracy's life where she began to own her worth (7:10)
• How worth is really about choice (11:12)
• How to choose a different story than one where you are the victim (13:21)
• Why we need to give ourselves permission to be happy regardless of our circumstances (20:05)
• What it means to be gentle with ourselves (32:05)
• What self-image is and why it matters (34:30)

"My feelings often follow my actions and my words."

I have a long-standing habit, that I am constantly working on shifting, of judging the people closest to me. It's one of the parts of my ego I dislike the most, but am also learning to be graceful with.

I have been working for a couple of weeks on shifting into love every time I notice myself judging my boyfriend. This is a conscious effort on my part to stop judging him for things that might never change -- or need to for that matter.

But it is work, and I want to be accountable for my goals, so I recorded a solo episode about what I'm learning as I focus on loving him as he is. Of course, this also means I'm learning to love myself on a whole new level. Because that is the worthfull journey.

"What you can control is the way that you see the opportunities you are given." - Kristen Metzger

I have been looking forward to recording a podcast episode with my sister-friend Kristen for over a year. Because she lives such a world citizen, nomadic lifestyle, it finally happened after several attempts, and I'm so happy to share this conversation with you.

Kristen is many things, but acting is her biggest passion between all of her professions. She has such a huge heart, vision, and empathy for telling the stories of humans. But in this conversation, I asked her questions about how she has learned to own her worth as an actress, in one of the most competitive industries, where she is constantly being told no, we don't want you.

Kristen has incredible insight and depth into what she is learning about where our worth comes from and how we can always be shaping our experiences to build our worth, no matter what our results are.

• How to maintain self-worth in a highly personal, competitive environment (4:15)
• How honoring our boundaries increases our self-worth (9:12)
• How empathy lets you see others' and your own worth (13:05)
• How honoring our boundaries frees up our time to do what we value most (15:47)
• Why self-worth can't be based on results (21:26)

"It was no longer acceptable to me to run myself low and not replenish to 100."

I am thrilled to say, I practiced self-care at a level that I have never experienced this last weekend. After an intense 10 day work trip, I knew I needed some quality time to replenish. And I delivered on my promise to myself.

I was so overjoyed at experiencing self-care from a place of worth that I couldn't wait to record an episode sharing my experience. In this solo episode, I share how I prepped beforehand to make this blissful weekend possible, how I practiced self-care during my trip, and what self-care looks like for me on an emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical level.

"The truth is somewhere in the middle."

I read a post by one of my favorite marketing and business mentors, Seth Godin, about how we are innately biased when it comes to our opinion of our own work. I took that a step farther and thought about how we are innately biased when it comes to our opinion of our worth.

If you've ever felt the struggle of perfectionism, you can probably relate. We perfectionists tend to either think we aren't ever going to be enough, or we think if we just work a little harder, we can prove our worth. Both are lies. And the truth is somewhere in the middle.

I recorded a solo episode sharing my thoughts on Seth's thoughts on this topic and I'd love to hear yours as well.

"You are who you were raised to be and you are who you've chosen to become independent of that."

I spent the weekend at my parent's house for my nephew's baptism and it was lovely. I also had a minor emotional meltdown because it was the first time I'd taken my boyfriend to my parent's home. And it felt vulnerable.

I recorded a little solo episode on my experience to share what I'm learning about owning my worth around who I was raised to be and who I've chosen to become. In my opinion, ownership and authenticity come from owning the whole of who we are, and that includes where we came from.

"Everything I do well now, I was once bad at."

How do you feel when you make a mistake? I used to feel a lot of shame - especially when it was something I knew how to do better. As I've learned to own my worth, I've been shifting how I feel about making mistakes. And since I've been making lots of mistakes lately (new clients, business growth, relationship, etc), I've been really practicing owning my worth in all of them.

I recorded a solo episode to share some helpful tools I've learned to own my worth through making mistakes - small and big. If you're like me, it's a life-long process, but it makes a world of difference.

"Show up like your work matters."

I had a little epiphany while working on multiple client's projects last week and realized it had to do with worth. I work with mostly personal brands, so how a client prioritizes their work tells me how much they own their worth.

I recorded a quick solo episode as a little business behind-the-scenes note on what I am learning about how to get the best service for your business, brand, project, or whatever you're working on that is important to you. And, of course, it has to do with how you own your worth.

"Human beings were created to experience joy."

I had a beautiful experience this weekend in which I let myself be so "still" and rejuvenate so fully that I was actually energized and looking forward to a new work week by Sunday night. Novel.

I realized that this was only possible because I've been practicing putting the things that bring me joy (and consequently fill me up with energy) first in my day to day priorities . . . and seeing everything else (work, to do lists, etc) fall into place around that. It has been revolutionary to say the least.

I wanted to record a solo episode about what I'm learning about putting joy first, while I'm learning it, so that we can all run this big experiment together if you're interested. I believe we are here on planet Earth to experience joy, and the rest of life can fit in around that. Owning my worth is where this starts.

"What dazzles God isn't our accomplishments, it's our love." - Bob Goff

I read this quote tonight on Instagram and it hit me like Bob's quotes always do - THE TRUTH.

The thought of dazzling God is beyond. But when I considered what Bob was saying, I started to really get behind it. What happens when we own our worth is that we acknowledge our infinite capacity to love and give. We mirror God's love. And that's something pretty amazing.

I'm sharing my thoughts on this in a short and dazzling solo episode (see what I did there?).
