⚠️ Content advisory: this episode discusses mental health & wellbeing, which some listeners may find distressing.If you need support, you're not alone — help is available:Lifeline (24/7 crisis support): 13 11 14 · lifeline.org.auFor ten years, Deborah climbed the corporate ladder at Citibank, building a high-profile career to escape the label of sensitivity. She learned to equate self-esteem with achievement, never smiling at her desk, performing a version of herself that felt increasingly hollow. Then came three years of debilitating, misdiagnosed illness: severe pain, hemorrhaging, doctors telling her it was MS, Lou Gehrig's disease, or all in her head. Bedridden and alone, everything she had built her identity on was stripped away. In that crisis, she heard about a 1943 copper penny worth a million dollars, and the metaphor cracked something open. She realised she had never learned self-worth, only self-esteem. She wrote a children's book, Paisley's Last Quill, about a porcupine who gives away her power piece by piece. Now she is developing a Broadway-scale musical based on the story, determined to teach others what took her a health collapse to learn.Deborah Weed is a US-based former corporate executive who spent a decade at Citibank leading multimillion-dollar projects before a three-year health crisis forced her to confront the difference between achievement and intrinsic worth. She is now a creative entrepreneur, children's book author, and founder of Quills Up, a movement centred on reclaiming personal power through self-worth.In this Grit Diaries conversation with Mon & Mazz, Deborah shares the story behind the moments below.🎙️ IN THIS CONVERSATION:• Self-esteem is built on achievement and requires constant proof; self-worth is intrinsic and survives when everything external is stripped away.🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Deborah Weed and her Broadway dreams03:07 How sensitivity became a wound that drove her corporate climb04:27 The misalignment of heart in a brain-focused corporate world05:04 Self-esteem vs. self-worth: the distinction that matters08:54 What true self-worth looks like when achievement is stripped away10:47 Three years bedridden: the fracture that changed everything13:28 The 1943 penny: the metaphor that saved her life18:23 Paisley's Last Quill: turning pain into a story about reclaiming power22:20 From children's book to Broadway dreams: the musical and the challenge of funding26:01 Her father's wisdom on disappointment as the real barrier to perseverance29:44 The cork that keeps bubbling: knowing what you're meant to do31:22 Closing: gratitude and the power of stories that touch us🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Welcome.We're glad you found your way here.Kintsugi Heroes was created from a simple belief: every person has a story worth sharing, and sometimes the story we need to hear arrives exactly when we need it most.Our name comes from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold.
