11. The Self Worth Myth

Making Artists

Dec 13 2022 • 28 mins

Often, people see their lack of self worth as the reason they’re not going after their dreams. That can include anything from going on a trip, going for a big goal, making a big decision, or even the way we own our identity.

In this episode, I’m going to talk about self worth in a way that you’ve probably never heard from a mindset coach before. When you don’t believe in your humanity, you don’t allow yourself to show up fully for the human experience. The usual solution is to build self-worth by doing exercises, indulging in things we’ve been conditioned to believe are helpful, and going on a pampering binge.

What’s conspicuously missing from this cycle is actually doing the thing you want to do when you’ve attained the self worth you’ve been missing.

What if your sense of self-worth doesn’t really matter? What if lack of self worth is an invented problem? Is it true that you have to have an unflappable sense of self-worth to get what you want? Will you be doing the busy work trying to pump yourself up or will you be showing up to do the work?
