Wh...

In this raw and empowering episode, I dive deep into a recent therapy breakthrough that made me realize something surprising: even after all my work on boundaries and people-pleasing, there’s still a part of me that questions whether I deserve to protect my time—especially for writing. This conversation unpacks the difference between knowing what self-worth is and actually believing it. I share why our culture makes self-worth so hard to root in, how high-achieving women are especially vulner...
