Worthfull Project

"I feel so full because I've been receiving."   I just moved from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City and was a little occupied for the past two weeks (hence missing a week of posting an episode). However, what I experienced during the move was so beautiful, I couldn't wait to share an episode on the topic. I have moved many times in my life but rarely have I ever received all the suppor...

"In time of crisis, you have to be vulnerable. And you have to help people understand that it's okay for them to be vulnerable too."   I got a text from my friend Danielle recently that said, "I'd be happy to share how I'm learning to own my worth while going through a divorce." Wow, yes. What a gift this conversation was. Danielle and I met a couple of years ago when s...

"The way we own our worth determines the value that we will offer to the world."   I'm right in the middle of a busy stretch of work weeks and having a great time. So it felt fitting when my good friend Nick asked me to record an episode on the difference between value and worth. I've been thinking a lot about my value in the workplace lately as I've been transitioning my clien...

"Ask your future self the questions you are afraid to ask."   I have been a mentor coach in one of my favorite leadership trainings for the past couple of months and it has been wonderful, as always. But this past weekend, during one of our weekend trainings, our coach led us through a visualization that was so powerful, I knew I needed to write it all down so that I'd never forget. I...

"We can't control our circumstances, but we can control what we choose to do with our time."   One of the biggest lessons I've learned from living in Los Angeles for the past few years is to honor the worth of everyone around me -- no matter their circumstances. So many people in this city are experiencing homelessness. I see people sleeping on the street I live on every night.  It...

"Worthfull worth is intact no matter what kind of results we are creating."   Do you ever feel like your worth goes down the toilet when you haven't created any results lately that you can show others to prove it? I definitely experience this. Not as much as I used to. But I definitely feel this still at times. I was feeling this way a couple of days ago and actually got excited. I rea...

"Being kind is about speaking to the best version of someone."   I got to have one of the most important Worthfull Project conversations so far while visiting my dear friend (and college roommate) Liann Seiter last week. Liann has known me for 11 years, long before worthfull was an idea in my head or I had any idea what it meant to own my worth. She has witnessed me in so many phases of my...

"We get to show up in a way that invites others to own their worth."   I keep having conversations and getting asked questions about how to own your worth during big life transitions. Things like marriage, divorce, becoming a parent, starting a new career, etc. I've been thinking a lot about this as well since I'm in the middle of some big life transitions myself (career shift, mov...

"There are so many battles that don't need to be fought today."   I was talking to my roommate Candice last night about how I'm learning to manage my responsibilities and also take care of myself. We talked about how responsibilities can feel like battles - career, money, relationships, spirituality, etc. - and how they can overwhelm us if we're not mindful. I found myself shar...

"I found there were no roots more intimate than those between a mind and body that have decided to be whole." - Rupi Kaur   I had a few requests from friends for episode topics and I was about to record one on career change. But then I realized I had an opportunity to talk about something much closer to my heart today. I am single, I've been single for a long time, and I just got rejec...

"The longer we avoid truth and honesty, the longer we'll remain sick."   I got to talk to my dear friend Bryce this week about how he's learning to tell the truth. He's been on a journey of opening up and finding his voice again after years of brutal challenge. Not only has he weathered abuse, addiction, and a 9 year ongoing bout of cancer, Bryce has lived a lot of his life in...

"I'm still learning to love the parts of myself that no one claps for." - Rudy Francisco   I had the huge blessing to be a mentor in a leadership training this past weekend. It's something I do once a year and it always fills me up with gratitude. About 3 years ago, I took the training myself, and it was transformational to say the least. To this day, it's still a huge part of...

"A lot of this practice of shifting out of judgment is loving who we really are."   I wanted to dive into one of the most important topics of living worthfully today -- dropping the habit of self-judgment and returning to the habit of self-love. This has been a HUGE part of my journey to own my worth. Huge. It's ongoing, and I'm constantly learning as I go. It's one of the most...

"Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable." - Mary Oliver   I woke up this morning in a daydreamy mood (which is very common for me). And then I thought what a delight it would be to share my thoughts on the worth of daydreaming. Here's the thing: I have been a big daydreamer since I was a little girl but I tried to force myself out of the habit a few years back. I had started...

"I know I have an incomplete view of my worth, but I can have a complete view of it."   I was talking to my lovely roommate Candice Gutierrez today about the importance of self-care. I realized this is a perfect worthfull conversation that I've touched on but haven't dived into. And if there's anyone to preach the truth of self-care, it's Candice. She is not only a brillian...

"Money just makes you more of who you already were." - Sara Blakely   I've been thinking a lot about what it means to own my worth in my career lately. I'm in an evolution in my own career, and I did a massive career change 4 years ago, so it's something I have experience with. The first six years of my career I worked in corporate insurance sales - about as traditional of a pr...

"Boredom makes people keen to engage in activities that they find more meaningful than those at hand." - Manoush Zomorodi   I gave myself the permission today (on this Independence Day holiday) to not get anything done if I didn't want to. Since I've been vacationing a lot lately, I didn't feel the need for a holiday. But something told me to slow down and take one anyway. As a...

"The unworthiness was the way to become worthy."   I met my new friend Sarah Anassori during lunch at a lovely event several months ago, and we hit it off right away. But it wasn't until our follow up brunch that we began to realize how similar our paths have been on our journeys to owning our worth. Sarah sailed her way through school with great grades, landed an impressive job in mar...

"No matter what we may or may not offer through our digital personas, we're worthy of love and belonging."   I spend a lot of my time professionally thinking about what makes a powerful digital persona. It's the business I work in. So when I was watching the new announcement about IG TV today, I got reflective about how I judge people's worth based on their digital persona. Thi...

"As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same." - Marianne Williamson I just returned (tonight) from a really wonderful trip to Mexico City. I got to go there with a couple of vloggers, creators, and influencers who are committed to elevating the human experience. You can probably imagine how great the conversations we had were.  As we talked late i...

"I let someone else see what it looked like to get there."   Well, here we are at the official 6 month mark of the podcast. Episode 26, exactly halfway through Year 1 of the Worthfull Project! I couldn't think of a better way to commemorate the first six months of this show than sitting down with my dear friend Rebecca Regnier , who is featured on episode 1, to record a 6 month check i...

"I'm still blooming. And so are you. We don't need to judge ourselves in the process."   Last week I recorded two episodes in one sitting (thinking they'd be one), so now it's time to post the second part. As I was talking about the value of showing the unpolished process of our lives , I thought of all the mistakes I make, both public and private. I used to feel awful when...

"We give people a chance to witness our evolution."   There's one piece of living worthfully that's been on my mind lately -- so I of course wanted to record a solo episode about it. It's something I'm practicing daily, whether I want to or not. It's the thing that held me back from sharing my ideas and voice publicly for so long. And it's the thing that I am now ha...

"Why not give your greatness to the world and let them judge you for that?" - Trent Shelton   I got to listen to a wonderful (and worthfull) conversation at my work today.  I have the privilege of sitting in on the conversations that are featured on the School of Greatness podcast (the show I produce professionally). Today the guest was an incredible man named Trent Shelton, who has millio...

"Our trials are our gifts, and we are what we make of them."   I got a delightful text from my dear friend Liz the other night.  She and I have been walking our worthfull journeys on parallel paths, and she suggested we record a podcast episode together. I loved the idea. Not because I thought Liz has it all figured out. Or because she's a gorgeous model and actress and coach. But beca...
