What if your need to prove your worth is actually the wound you’re here to heal?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Thema Bryant to explore how trauma, people-pleasing, and overgiving often shape our sense of identity — especially for service providers. We talk about how many of us were taught to earn love by abandoning ourselves and how to begin rewriting that story from a place of truth and agency.
Dr. Thema shares powerful insights on setting boundaries, reclaiming joy through play, and embodying self-worth that isn’t based on what you achieve. We also touch on the importance of honoring your nervous system and creating relationships where you’re allowed to show up fully — without needing to fix or perform.
If you’ve ever felt burnt out, disconnected, or stuck in old patterns, this conversation is a reminder that healing starts with remembering your inherent worth.
