The Misunderstood Truth About Self-Worth: The Real Reason You Still Don’t Feel “Enough”

The Simple Source: Self-Love, Healing, and Spiritual Growth

You don't raise your self-worth. You reclaim it. In this episode, I share my revelation that completely redefined how I understand and embody self-worth. After nearly 15 years of deep healing work, I realized that self-worth has been taught backward. It isn’t about believing you’re lovable, enough, or deserving. It’s not rooted in identity. Through the lens of attachment theory, neuroscience, and spiritual truth, I explain how self-worth forms through our earliest relational exchanges before we even develop an identity.

That initial energetic blueprint, formed in infancy, shapes everything: how we give, how we receive, and whether we feel inherently valuable. My redefinition of self-worth explains why traditional approaches to healing self-worth often fall short. They try to build worth through cognitive affirmations when the original wound wasn't formed in cognition at all, but in pre-verbal, energetic imprints.

You'll also learn why so many people are stuck in cycles of overgiving, people-pleasing, and scarcity, not because they can't heal, but because their nervous systems were wired to believe they were empty. This episode reveals how to restore your true self-worth by reconnecting to your true value and innate fullness. If you’ve been doing all the “right” things but still struggle with "low self-worth", this episode will change everything because the truth is—self-worth is rooted in the energetic imprint we absorbed in our earliest relationships that taught us whether or not unconditional love was a constant, and whether our love was valuable. Reclaim your true worth with my complete reorientation to self-worth that will elevate how you experience your value forever.
