I created the Unconditionally Worthy Podcast to guide you on your journey to connect with the true source of your self-worth.
After struggling for years with low self-worth, anxiety, perfectionism, and overworking myself, I have experienced incredible transformation by connecting to my unconditional self-worth.
Now I’m here to support you and cultivate a safe space for conversations about self-worth, mental health, relationships, learning to forgive yourself, and using self-worth as a foundation for living courageously.
Tune in to hear honest stories about my experiences with low self-worth, as well as my personal and professional recommendations for learning to connect to your unconditional self-worth through powerful practices you can implement in your life right now. You are not alone in your struggles. You have the power to live a life of worthiness and freedom!

Have you ever been left waiting for what you wanted? Maybe it was waiting for a promotion, waiting for love, waiting for a baby. I think we all go through waiting periods in our lives and if you’re anything like me, it can be hard to wait.
I want you to know that you’re not alone in your waiting. At some point this summer (I’m not sure exactly when), I got put in a metaphorical waiting room.
I didn’t know that I was being put in a waiting room and just like my toddler does when we ask her to do something she doesn’t want to do, I went kicking and screaming.
In this episode of the Unconditionally Worthy podcast, I’m sharing about my experience struggling with and eventually accepting and learning from a waiting period in my life. This episode will help you think constructively about your own times of waiting so that they can be transformative in your life.
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.
So many of us struggle with perfectionism. Women in particular are socialized to believe that being perfect makes us worthy. If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent years trying to be perfect in all the ways you could think of (academically, professionally, in friendships, in romantic relationships, etc.). After pursuing perfectionism for long enough we are left exhausted and disconnected from the things that used to bring joy into our life.
I want to encourage you, one recovering perfectionist to another, that there is another way. That’s exactly what my guest on this episode of the Unconditionally Worthy podcast and I are talking about. I’m joined by Dr. Rebecca Hubard a licensed clinical psychologist, Kemetic Yoga instructor, former student athlete, and recovering perfectionist.
Listen in as Dr. Rebecca shares about her one self-worth journey, how she is releasing perfectionism and how both of us are avoiding the traps of pursuing perfection as new moms.
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.
Have you been trying to avoid failure and disappointment and ended up living on the sidelines of life? Have you been so worried about the opinions of others or caught up in people pleasing that you have become disconnected from the desires of your heart?
I know these are deep questions but they are so important to wrestle with if we want to claim our worth, design our lives, and start living full out. This is exactly what my guest and I talk about on this episode of Unconditionally Worthy. Jamila Reddy, a transformational coach, intuitive guide, writer, and breathwork facilitator is my guest on this week’s episode and I can’t wait for you to listen to our powerful conversation and see the shifts it helps you to make in your life.
Listen in as we discuss how to design a life that you truly desire, cultivating practices to tolerate disappointment so you can get out on the field of life and play full out, and how breathwork helped Jamila move through deep grief.
Do you feel disconnected from yourself? Have you spent so much time and energy doing what other people want that you no longer feel connected to what you truly desire? This is a common experience for so many of us, women in particular. In this episode of the podcast we are going to explore how this happens and show you how to reconnect with yourself.
In this episode of Unconditionally Worthy, I welcome Mohini Gima who is an educator, facilitator, guide, and speaker.
Listen in as we discuss how we become disconnected from ourselves and the simple practices that help us to reconnect with ourselves and embody our self-worth. Mohini share’s her story of pursuing a “dream” life and then dismantling the life she had created when she realized that it was misaligned. She shares how she courageously created a life that affirms her worth and fulfills her desires.
Do you have beliefs about yourself and your life that keep you stuck? Do you find yourself longing to do something bigger with your life or break out of your comfort zone but continually feel pulled back into old habits and patterns? Well, you may be experiencing the effects of limiting beliefs in your life.
In this episode of Unconditionally Worthy, I welcome Jennifer Standish, author of Permission Granted: Live Your Life Full of Joy and Peace and personal transformation expert.
Listen in as we have a candid discussion about the most common limiting beliefs, how claiming our worth can dismantle those beliefs, and the importance of giving yourself permission to change your mind.
Is your relationship to food feeling like a burden? Do you want to improve your relationship with yourself and make healthier choices? Do you want to feel a sense of freedom and joy when it comes to food?
In this episode of The Unconditionally Worthy Podcast, I welcome Wendy Lopez & Jessica Jones, nationally recognized Registered Dietitians, Certified Diabetes Educators, and Co-Founders of Food Heaven. Tune in to learn about the intersection of self-worth and food, how to improve your relationship with food, and practical recommendations for developing body trust and making healthier food choices.
I deeply believed that I was unlovable for years and the biggest challenge I had on my journey to embracing my unconditional self-worth was believing that I’m lovable and letting go of the belief that I needed a partner to prove that I was worthy.
I wonder if you’ve ever struggled with the same thing?
I want you to know that you’re not alone in what can be a sometimes painful journey and that there are things you can do to turn your journey to finding love beautiful and empowered just like mine was in the end.
Tune in to hear the nitty gritty of my struggles in love and how I triumphantly created my happily ever after.
