In today's episode, I open with a short meditation and then I dive right into exploring the idea of internalized capitalism and how it relates to worthiness.
When we internalize capitalism, our self-worth is connected to what we do and what we produce and not who we are at the core of our being.
Have you ever felt guilty for resting? Have you ever prioritized work over well-being? Have you ever felt like you should be doing more or achieving more? Or felt that you should be monetizing your hobbies?
An internalized voice of capitalism leaves so many of us wondering if we're doing enough, if we're good enough, if we're worthy.
I share how I worked towards what I thought was my dream life for many years but when I finally had it all... thats when everything shifted. I experienced burnout, and I questioned if everything I had worked for was even worth it - if I couldn't have freedom and peace of mind.
It's so essential to give ourselves rest, grace and space and to seek out experiences that can help us to deprogram this inner voice of internalized capitalism.
This is an episode to remind us that we are radiant, beautiful and worthy! We are human beings... NOT human doings.
