Your Self-Worth Becomes Your Legacy

You're teaching your children that a woman's worth comes from her productivity. That being needed equals being valuable. That rest is selfish. That saying no is failure.

And you don't even realize you're doing it.

Every family gathering where you exhaust yourself. Every moment you make yourself smaller. Every time you apologize for taking up space. Your children are watching—and learning the WRONG lesson about what women deserve.

The value you claim (or deny) for yourself today becomes the legacy your children carry for generations. This episode reveals the hidden belief system keeping you stuck, the devastating cost of continuing it, and the ONE decision you can make today to change your legacy forever.

Not for the faint of heart. Only for moms ready to stop performing and start living.

We challenge the belief that a woman’s value is earned through productivity and being needed, and show how that belief becomes a legacy children absorb. A personal turning point leads to five truths about inherent worth and a practical path to choose a new legacy with one decision today.

• hidden worth equation that ties value to doing
• how children learn self-worth by watching us
• signs of conditional worth: over-apology, compulsive yes, guilt for rest
• the move-and-crisis story that exposed emptiness
• five truths: inherent worth, constancy, acceptance, self-assigned value, modeling
• practical shifts: boundaries, rest, kinder self-talk, needs included
• one worth-based decision to start change today

If you've ever caught yourself staring in the mirror, wondering when you started looking so exhausted, or scrolling through old photos of the woman you used to be—the one with dreams and direction—this episode is for you.

You've been told that good mothers sacrifice everything. So you did. And now you feel lost, confused, and as though you've somehow failed because you no longer know who you are.

But what if your confusion isn't evidence of failure? What if it's evidence of readiness?

In this episode, I'm challenging one of the most damaging beliefs keeping women stuck: that feeling lost about your identity means something is wrong with you. I'll share why you're not actually lost—you're buried. And there's a massive difference.

You'll discover:

• Why the "lost" feeling is actually a feature, not a bug in your system
• The radical reframe that changes everything (you're not lost, you're buried)
• 4 specific shifts to move from buried to breakthrough
• What research says about women and identity in midlife (hint: you're not alone)
• How your confusion is actually directing you back to YOU

Plus, I'm sharing my own story of the night I cried myself to sleep grieving a woman I thought I'd lost—and what I discovered she'd been doing all along.

The woman you're looking for isn't gone. She's been patient, waiting for you to remember she was never supposed to fit into the small boxes others created for her.

Your confusion isn't a problem to solve. It's an invitation to discover.

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:

✓ You can't remember the last time someone asked "What do YOU want?" and you had an answer

✓ You've googled "Why do I feel empty when I should be grateful?"

✓ You love your family but feel like you've disappeared

✓ You watch other women who seem to have it together and wonder what's wrong with you

✓ You've believed that feeling confused means you've failed somehow

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

• Research on midlife transitions (10-20% clinical crisis vs. universal discontent)
• Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Women's Mental Health study
• The 4-step process for moving from buried to breakthrough

FINAL THOUGHT:

You are not lost. You are not broken. You are becoming fully you.

And the world needs the woman you're becoming more than it needs the woman you think you should be.
