This has been a hard year for me. Not all bad by any measure but definitely hard.

I started the year out with big goals and plans for my business and met very few of them.

My themes for this year were fun and ease and, ironically, I struggled with both of those things.

I experienced the resurgence of self-worth challenges that I thought I had resolved and was reminded of the ongoing nature of our self-worth journeys.

I’m sharing this with you because I want to be open and honest about my own self-worth journey, not just where I’ve been (there are many episodes where I’ve shared that) but where I am now and how I’m moving through the challenging periods in my life.

Intergenerational trauma is something that impacts most of us whether we know it or not. The trauma that our mothers experienced when we were in their wombs impacts us, the trauma that their mothers experienced impacted them and on and on and on. While it can be discouraging to consider the trauma that has impacted so many people in our lineage, it is empowering to know that we can heal intergenerational trauma and to remember the strength that we can draw from our ancestors. Healing intergenerational trauma is about what we do in our own lives to break the cycle and how we change things for future generations.

In this episode of the Unconditionally Worthy podcast I’m joined by Dr. Mariel Buqué who is a psychologist, intergenerational trauma expert, and author.

Listen in as Dr. Mariel shares about how imposter syndrome was a big factor in her own self-worth journey and shares her deep wisdom and practical insights on how we can heal intergenerational trauma.

Self-worth challenges are not your fault. However, they are your responsibility. As you start and progress on your self-worth journey, it’s important that you learn to hold these two truths together. In this episode of The Unconditionally Worthy Podcast, I talk about why your struggles with self-worth are your responsibility and how you can take back control of your self-worth, starting today.

Around 70% of people have struggled with imposter syndrome. Are you one of them? If so, don’t miss this episode of The Unconditionally Worthy Podcast as I welcome Bre Clark, a Multimedia Journalist and Host of The Real Deal, a talk show where she unmasks imposter syndrome and speaks with "successful people" about confidence, self worth, and their personal battles with imposter syndrome. Tune in as Bre and I talk about why self-worth is the root of imposter syndrome and how to start understanding and overcoming imposter syndrome in your career and beyond.

In this episode of The Unconditionally Worthy Podcast, I welcome Dionne Regis, a Master's student in the Clinical and Counseling department at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she’s specializing in school counseling. Listen in to this 1:1 coaching session as Dionne shares her experience being a first-generation immigrant and the challenges of having imposter syndrome while in college. We also discuss a few mindset shifts she (or any of you) can practice to let go of the idea that only accomplishments and influence will make you worthy.

In spite of the world’s feedback, are you willing to claim your brilliance, claim your space, call forward who you’re here to be, and determine for yourself that you are worthy?
