Worthfull Project

"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...

"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,...

"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...

"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...

"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. Se...

"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,...

"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...

"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...

"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&#39...

"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...

"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 s...

"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...

"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...

" 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 wit...

"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....

"Worth doesn't change no matter what you think, what you feel, what you've been through, what's happened to you." - Kristen Beckwith I met a new friend in a line at a wedding a few months ago and it turns out we definitely were meant to record an episode on the Worthfull Project. Kristen has lived with intense anxiety, depression, OCD and more for over nine years, and as she&#3...

"You're discovering a new country, but you're discovering a new person as well." - Diana Tapia I was recently introduced to a beautiful friend who knows first hand the experience of reinventing herself as an immigrant. Diana immigrated from Mexico to Canada 8 years ago, and through her experience she has been inspired to create a worldwide organization to support other immigrants i...

"Your worth is completely separate from your family's opinion of you." I spent last weekend with my family at a little reunion and it inspired me to record a solo episode on owning my worth within my family relationships. Ever struggled with that? Hahahahaha. I love my family and I love spending time with them. I've also learned lessons over the years about how I can own my worth n...

"I am worthy of all of this joy and all of these blessings and all of this abundance and all of this grace." I have experienced so much of the unexpected in the last year of my life. And it's had me thinking recently about how blessed the unexpected can turn out to be. But I don't know that I've always seen it that way. A poem from Morgan Harper Nichols caught my eye on Pintere...

"You often feel tired, not because you've done too much, but because you've done too little of what sparks a light in you." I cannot stop thinking about this idea. I've recorded multiple episodes now about how important it is to shift how we spend our time to align with what reminds us of our worth. I mean it in regards to our work, our relationships, our hobbies, our health, a...

"Your worth exists because you're imperfect." - Danelle Nielson I have been looking forward to sharing this conversation with my good friend Danelle for months and months. We finally got it recorded, and it doesn't disappoint (in my opinion). Danelle and I both love Brene Brown, learning how to be vulnerable, eating amazing food, and talking about ADD, yes that so-called "disor...

"We are all here to be the expression of God that is within us." Well wouldn't you know it, it's the 18 month anniversary of the Worthfull Project podcast! Time flies when you're having fun, and if it wasn't for good friends like my guest co-host Rebecca, I'd practically forget any of these milestones were coming up. If you have been listening to the WP podcast for a wh...

"Look at yourself until you love what you see." I recently had some photos taken of myself for some forthcoming brand updates. My dear friend Meagan took them. My other dear friend Shelley was there too. It was the most supportive environment possible to have photos taken of myself. And I was still insecure. I got back the photos this weekend and looking through them I could feel my insecu...

"I use all of the tools, all of the time." On my weekly accountability buddy call today, my sister friend Lucy mentioned that she is a fan of the podcast but hasn't heard me talk about how I struggle (and move through struggle) very often on it. Lucy knows I struggle. She hears me talk each week about my struggles. But I really appreciated her feedback that I maybe hadn't realized...

'And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, "This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!" And each day, it's up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart, and say, "No. This is what's important."' - Iain Thomas I had a beautiful holiday weekend (which I actually took a...
