Episode 2 - Worthy: Reclaiming Your Joy After Divorce

Your nEXt Chapter

The idea of "worth" is something that touches all of our lives, but what does it really mean? At its simplest, worth refers to how valuable we believe ourselves to be. However, many of us carry beliefs shaped by our upbringing and experiences that can distort this sense of value. When we challenge these beliefs that fuel our scarcity mindset, we open ourselves to the idea that we deserve abundance in all areas of our lives. Embracing our worth enables us to take risks, pursue our passions, and demand the respect and love we deserve.

In this episode, I’ll share a transformative journey that reshaped my understanding of worthiness, scarcity, and self-value. After returning from an incredible retreat, I felt compelled to share insights that taught me to honor my own worth—something I realized I’d often undervalued. As I continue on this path, I’m more aware than ever of the importance of a mindset rooted in abundance and self-respect. By choosing to value myself, I hope to inspire others to recognize that we are all deserving of the best—not just in special moments, but in how we live every day.
