Separate This and Everything Changes

About this episode

This episode discusses the distinction between self-worth and value, emphasizing that one's worth is constant while value can change based on external factors.

This week on the podcast, I'm sharing a simple experience that turned into a powerful reminder! It started with something small… selling a rowing machine. In a moment of overwhelm and decluttering, I listed it quickly without much thought, only to find out that I had drastically undervalued it. Instant regret! The "why didn't I think this through?" But underneath that reaction was a deeper lesson: We do this same thing to ourselves all the time. We confuse our worth with our value! We assess it based on our productivity, our performance, how we show up, or how others respond to us. But here's the truth: 👉 Your worth is constant 👉 Your value can grow, shift, and evolve In this episode, we talk about: The difference between worth and value Why we tie our identity to output And how to separate who you are from what you do If you've ever had a day where you felt behind, not enough, or like you were somehow "less than"… this episode is for you. You are not your output. You are not your worst day. And your worth? It was never up for negotiation.
