Welcome to the Worthy Woman Chronicles™
XXX,
There comes a time in every woman’s life when doubt creeps in. That little voice whispering that you’re not enough. No matter how much you’ve achieved, there’s a voice that insists you should be more, do more, or have more.
Today, I’m here to remind you: you are enough, exactly as you are, and it’s time to reconnect with that truth.
Society celebrates productivity, achievement, and perfection—a relentless cycle that makes many women feel like their worth is tied to what they do, rather than who they are. Add to that the internalized messages from childhood or past experiences that told you that you must earn love, validation, or success, and you have the perfect recipe for chronic feelings of unworthiness.
But what if you could break free from that cycle? What if you could embrace your inherent worth without conditions?
The first step in reclaiming your self-worth is understanding that it has never left you. You don’t need to build or “fix” your worth; you only need to reconnect with it. This shift in mindset can be powerful. It’s about moving from “I need to prove myself” to “I choose to honor myself.”
Start your day with affirmations that resonate deeply. Here’s one to begin with:
“I am enough as I am. My worth is infinite and unchanging.”
Repeat it to yourself every morning or write it down in your journal. Put it on post it notes all over your house. Set reminders in your phone. Over time, you’ll start to internalize this truth. There's millions more affirmations you can come up with by doing a quick search but if you need ideas let me know!
Create a “Win Journal” where you write down three things you accomplished each day. These can be anything from closing a big deal to making time for a friend or practicing self-care. This exercise shifts your focus from what you haven’t done to all that you’re already achieving.
Find a picture of yourself as a child and place it somewhere visible. When feelings of unworthiness arise, look at that photo and remind that little girl she is loved, cherished, and enough—not because of what she does, but simply because she exists. And that you are able to love and care for her now. She is safe.
Our bodies often hold the tension and stress of feeling unworthy. In fact they hold the memories and feelings of every happy, sad and painful moment of your life. Remember when you fell off your bike at 5 years old? No, well your body does. That's a whole other blog post and a message I've been talking about for years to my massage clients so I won't go in depth here but the important take away is you need to check in with your body every day.
Take five minutes a day to do a body scan—notice where you feel tight or uncomfortable, breathe into those spaces, and let go of judgment. This simple practice builds trust and compassion between you and your body. Listen to her.
When you feel doubt surface, take a moment to pause, place a hand on your heart, and say:
“I release the need to prove myself. I am enough as I am, in this moment and always.”
Our mind is so powerful and you can change these beliefs at the root. Try embeding new thought patterns of love, worth, and acceptance, consider using hypnosis or meditation. These practices can help reinforce positive beliefs by accessing the subconscious mind, allowing your newfound affirmations and self-worth practices to become deeply rooted. By regularly engaging in guided meditations or self or guided hypnosis sessions, you can create a strong foundation for lasting emotional and mental transformation.
It’s important to know that these feelings of unworthiness are not unique to you. Many women share this struggle, and it’s okay to acknowledge it. The path to self-worth isn’t about perfection—it’s about self-compassion.
Reconnecting with your self-worth is not a one-time event but an ongoing journey. Some days will be easier than others, and that’s okay. What matters most is that you keep showing up for yourself and honoring the inherent value within you.
Today, take a deep breath and remember: you are, and have always been, enough.
