Worthfull Project

Welcome to the second Special Series on the Worthfull Project podcast! If you listened to any of the Worthfull Home Special Series, you'll enjoy this one focused on how we own our worth in our work.

I have found certain topics relating to self-worth that are especially interesting to me, so I wanted to record mini episodes on each of these topics where I interview several people on the same topic to get a rich perspective on how to own my worth in these areas.

This series is all about owning our worth in our careers -- whatever that may look like for you. As an entrepreneur and business owner, I think about this all the time, so I interviewed three of my dear friends who I think exemplify worthfull work beautifully. I made this series with the intention to binge listen, but enjoy however you want.

• This episode is with my sister-friend, life coach, mentor, peer, podcast-buddy, client and joy of a woman, Tiff Peterson. I could go on for days why I love Tiff as a friend, but learning from her as a career mentor has been one of the great gifts of her friendship. Not only does she professionally coach thousands of people, she has created a career that supports a life she loves.

"Change is here to serve us, to teach us, to help us evolve. It's not just here to fill us with doubt."

As I'm sure you can relate, I've been experiencing a LOT of change this year, this month, this season. For me it's been the pandemic, and getting married, and moving, and evolving my career, but I'm sure you can list all all your own top changes as well.

I've been thinking lately about how all this change has impacted my self-worth; how it challenges my identity and worth -- and how it helps it. So I've recorded a solo episode to explore some of this, and I have a feeling I'll be exploring this for a while longer.

"A big part of living worthfully is owning our desire."

I want to hear your thoughts. We are coming up on 3 years of the Worthfull Project podcast, which is delightful, and also means it's time for a new chapter.

I've been dreaming bigger and envisioning what that next chapter looks like, and I want to know your thoughts -- because you are as much a part of this project as I am.

After listening to the show (or skip to minute 12 if you want to get the highlights), I'd LOVE to hear what would serve you the most in the coming months from yours truly and the Worthfull Project. I cannot wait to hear from you! Leave a comment, write me an email ([email protected]), DM me on Instagram, whatever way you want to tell me, I'm all ears.

"The more awareness we have, the more choices we have."

 

This conversation is a continuation of one my friend Heather and I started the other night about one of my favorite topics -- somatic intelligence, or body awareness.

Heather is the perfect person to talk to about this because she is a dancer, a dance teacher, and just as passionate about body awareness as I am.

In this episode, we discuss several pieces of what it means to hold our body as a home for our worth, the maturing process of learning to befriend and listen to our body, and how increasing our awareness of our body increases our choices. I loved all of this and you can expect more episodes on this topic -- I think it's endlessly interesting.

  Show notes

• What somatic intelligence is and why it matters (4:30)
• The power of body awareness Heather has learned as a teacher versus a student (7:18)

"How you frame it shapes what it even becomes." - Rob Bell

 

"Joy has no shame in repeating itself."

I didn't feel like speaking today, so I put off recording this episode for most of the afternoon. But then I gifted myself a pick-me-up by watching all 1 hour and 19 minutes of Rob Bell's film, An Introduction to Joy, and I found something to say.

I learned that how I frame my self-worth shapes what it even becomes - and that's worth sharing.

"This truly is the new set point of this new chapter of my life."

 

Here is the final chapter in the worthfull wedding saga that I've been sharing pieces of this year. I felt it would be worth it to recap what I felt and learned as our wedding finally happened, in all its beautiful reality, and the worthfull lessons of being a pandemic bride.

I am deeply grateful for the whole experience, the incredible support from so many, the beautiful miracle of our wedding, and the massive relief of it being complete (ha!). If I learned anything it was that I have always been worthy of all of the love and support I need, and this wedding was a beautiful reminder of that truth.

"Depression is the need for deep rest from the person we've become and not who we are."

 

What a treat I have for you today. I recorded this conversation a couple of months ago with my brother-from-another-mother Jake Kauffman about the good stuff - mental health, vulnerability, healing, depression, worth, and coming home to ourselves.

Jake and I met in a self-development workshop years ago in LA and it's been a strong bond ever since. He is now a thriving coach, writer, filmmaker, and more, and he has the chops to show for it.

Jake is a special kind of treat and I recommend a listen. Bonus - he loves sharing the origin and meanings of words, so there's a few of those treasures sprinkled throughout.

 

Show notes

• What coming home to himself has felt like to Jake this past year (4:34)
• What it's like to read about your own life in your own words (7:25)
• What the word persona actually means (11:15)
• The difference between who you think you are and the truth of who you are (16:42)
• A different way to look at depression (19:55)
• What belonging feels like to Jake (23:48)
• What the meaning of vulnerability translates to (25:45)
• Why getting wounded in relationships can be worth it (28:45)

"When we don't own our choices, it's a direct sign that we're not owning our worth."

 

Sharing a thought from my journal today. I've been mostly silent about my wedding because it's been such a touch and go thing to plan during this pandemic. But as I thought today, 2.5 weeks out from the event, that silence hasn't been helpful. It's felt safe. But it's kept people who love me in the dark as to what's really going on in my life.

The line I journaled this morning that really got me was, "Expression is powerful, even when silence seems safer." It occurred to me that this truth applies to ALL kinds of expression, on all topics, and that this as timely right now for anything you are struggling to express as it is for me. We really are worthy to express what we're experiencing. And that's what worthfullness looks like.

I wanted to recap my takeaways and learnings from the Bonus Series I released last week on Worthfull Home. I had so much fun doing the series, and of course I learned quite a bit, so this episode is my own thoughts after listening to the series.

I'd love to know your thoughts if you listened to any or all of the series! Let me know if you enjoyed the format, what future topics you'd like to see featured, and your favorite learnings.
