Shame, Abandonment, and Finding Your Worth

In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode, I share a powerful story that unfolded during a run at the local YMCA, where I witnessed a dad shaming his daughter on the basketball court. That moment brought back memories of my own experiences with shame and feelings of abandonment—from childhood struggles with math, to an abusive high school relationship, to moments of being let down by those I counted on most.

Through these reflections, I explore the toll of constant criticism and emotional neglect and how it leaves us feeling unseen, unheard, and unworthy. But there’s hope. If you’ve ever felt this way, know that you’re not alone. In this episode, I remind you that healing is possible, that you are worthy of love, and that the journey to self-worth starts with showing kindness and compassion to yourself.

This episode is a message to anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t measure up: you are seen, you are enough, and you deserve better. Tune in to discover how to start breaking free from the shame and reclaiming your power.
