🎙️ "If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough… you’re not alone."
I created the You’re Worthless Podcast because I’ve been there—questioning my worth, stuck in toxic cycles, knowing deep down that I was meant for more.
But healing doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when we decide to rewrite the story.
That’s why I’m here—to help you reclaim your power, rewire your beliefs, and step into the life you were born to live.
🌀 Whether you’re:
Ready to build unstoppable confidence,
Craving clarity in your career or life path,
Or want deep, lasting healing through hypnotherapy,
…you don’t have to do it alone.
