In this inspiring episode, Deborah Weed opens up about her powerful transformation—from a high-achieving corporate career to becoming the founder of the Self-Worth Initiative and the Quills Up Movement. 💫
After a life-altering health crisis, Deborah began to reframe her understanding of value, moving from external validation to embracing her intrinsic worth. She shares how a simple 1943 copper penny sparked a personal revolution, leading her to create tools, stories, and a musical called Paisley to help women—especially in midlife—reclaim their creativity and self-worth.
✨ What you'll learn in this episode:
- The difference between self-esteem and self-worth
- Why creativity is a powerful force for healing and transformation
- How women can advocate for themselves in a broken healthcare system
- The emotional cost of disappointment vs. fear
- Why community and connection are non-negotiables for true resilience
🔑 Whether you're navigating midlife, recovering from burnout, or searching for a deeper sense of meaning—Deborah’s wisdom will remind you: You are valuable, even when the world tells you otherwise.
