Worthfull ProjectEP 204 // Our Worth Is Still There // Christine BairdIt's our season finale episode for Season 6 of the show! I'm reflecting on what I learned about my self-worth this year, especially in light of it being the most intense year of my life thus far. I love the perspective and clearing the end of the year offers, and I'm grateful for all the lessons I've learned this year about caring for my self-worth and what I'm responsible for. Wishing you a happy holiday season and a deep, peaceful sense of your own worth. You can email me your feedback from this season to christine@worthfullproject.com :)

Worthfull ProjectEP 170 // Trusting Your Energy and Getting Paid // Christine Baird "What got me here wasn't just chance. It was that I had consciously started -- before these clients showed up and before these projects had started to come in -- I had already decided that I was ready for an energetic shift." I'm wrapping this little mini series on money and worth and work with one of the big lessons I have learned this year so far about energy and why it's important to trust it. Money can be considered a form of energy, and it definitely tends to follow our e...

Worthfull ProjectEP 169 // How Abundance Might Actually Work // Christine Baird "What if I started thinking about making really great work because I was curious, because I was passionate, because I just wanted to experiment and try and learn and take it a step further - I wonder what kind of abundance would come to me for that?" This episode is about abundance and its relationship to money, work, and creativity. I think about this every day. You probably do too. As I'm expanding my company and taking on more team members, a studio, and overhead, I'm also seeing the potential of n...

Worthfull ProjectEP 168 // Money and Self-Worth When It Comes to Work// Christine Baird "Money in no way is the sum definition of our worth. But if we don't connect the dots for ourselves first between our worth and money, it's very challenging for someone else to." I want to talk about the relationship between our self-worth, our work, and money for a few episodes. Obviously, this is a super impactful relationship in all of our lives. I've been learning a lot about this relationship for the past several years, especially as a professional who sets her own prices for her work. I do...

Worthfull ProjectEP 167 // You Are Not the Only One // Christine Baird "Just like our brain is never going to stop forcefully telling us to stay in our comfort zone, our worth is never going to stop gently prodding us to leave it." I really enjoyed International Women's Day this year and took it to heart. I remembered the ways women do incredible work every day and the ways I do great work every day. It prompted me to record an episode about the lie our brain likes to tell us that when we are struggling in our work, we are th...

Worthfull ProjectEP 166 // You Can Do Good In Your Sphere of Influence // Christine Baird "It's easy for us to forget, in times like this, that we actually do have the power to do good with our platforms." It's been a rough week in the world, specifically because Russia invaded Ukraine and brought a lot of of suffering to innocent people. But these are the times we live in and they require us to decide how we use our platforms and our spheres of influence to do good when lots of bad is happening around us. I think about this a lot because I wo...

Worthfull ProjectEP 165 // The Passion v. Skills Myth // Christine Baird "I think we're ending a 10 year cycle of a certain kind of messaging and marketing about this idea that you can monetize your passion if you just use the right tools and buy the right program and hire the right coach." I'm unpacking the super popular idea that if you learn how to monetize your passion, your worth will be fully owned in your work and the money you've dreamed of making will be yours. I do in fact know people who have done this. But I also know ma...

Worthfull ProjectEP 164 // A Season of Worthfull Work // Christine Baird "The technology keeps changing, but connection and trust are what still work. Ideas that spread, win. Ideas that stick are worth even more. You can race to be first on a new platform, but it's far better to be the voice that we would miss if you weren't there." Seth Godin It's the beginning of Season 5! I took a good break over the holidays and into the new year and now I'm ready for a new season -- which means a new theme and a new format for the ep...

Worthfull ProjectEP 163 // What I Learned from a Year of Affirmations // Christine Baird "Let's remember that our worth has been with us throughout this entire season and probably supported us in ways we didn't fully realize." It's the end of Season 4! Wow, what a year this was and what a gift committing to making these affirmation episodes has been to me. There were many weeks this year that I didn't think I had it in me to record another affirmation from my worth, but I did it anyway and I'm grateful. I'm recapping what I learned this year fr...

Worthfull ProjectEP 148 // Confidence As a Creator // Christine Baird If you've been wondering if it's the right time to be creative, it is. And you are. I'm breaking the affirmation episode streak to tell a little story and do a little check-in with my year-long resolution to be a maker. To create. To reconnect with all my desires and abilities to explore art forms and make new things. I am loving it! Just a few months into the year, I've been making so much more than in any chapter of my life. And I'm noticing a shift in my identity.

Worthfull ProjectEP 142 // Worthy Later, Worthy Now // Christine Baird "If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now." - Kali De Wild As I wrap this season and year of Worthfull Project, I'm filled with all the emotions this year has brought into my heart. I'm digesting, processing, understanding them all at my own pace, but certain truths are already clear. We're always worth something. Always. No matter the circumstances or emotions or what is being said. And that's a truth I can know at any time, if I just remember. I'm very excited to digest all the t...

Worthfull ProjectEP 141 // Worth As a Source of Light and Joy // Christine Baird "The things that light me up and bring me joy are always the things that remind me of my worth." As a Christian, I love the Christmas season because of what it reminds me in my faith. The hope of a savior and redeemer from all things, the worth of each soul, the mercy of a loving god. I also love this season as a creative because the aesthetic of Christmas is pure joy. So this year I'm remembering a few key things about my worth at t...

Worthfull ProjectEP 140 // A Different Season of Gratitude // Christine Baird "My gratitude is focused on the peace I've been able to experience." It's Thanksgiving eve, in a truly unique year of challenge and heartache, and I'm feeling gratitude in a different way this year. I'm sharing a variety of thoughts in today's solo episode -- about what I learned from the Worthfull Motherhood bonus series, about what it means to be an American citizen with our challenging history, and the gifts of time and creativity that the pandemic has given me, resulting in a brand new podcast I am co-hosting.

Worthfull ProjectEP 139 // A Holiday of Worthfull Creativity // Christine Baird "We may never have a holiday like this again . . . when we have time to be and reflect and create." I am very excited about this unique holiday season. I've been looking forward to it for a while because I feel like this holiday will have an abundance of something that is usually scarce this time of year . . . time to create. As this extraordinary year draws to a close and we reflect and celebrate the good, as we do during the holidays, I'm dedicating myself to the art o...

Worthfull ProjectEP 137 // Mirroring Back My Results // Christine Baird "Seeing our results-based worth mirrored back to us helps us realize how infinite and huge our worth really is." I have been a busy worker bee the past week designing a new site for my company, a new media kit for my personal brand, a new group coaching program, and a new podcast! I will share all the good updates as they roll out. During this process, I've been looking at my results and really taking in the worth of them. I know we don't usually talk a...

Worthfull ProjectEP 136 // Embodying Our Own Beauty // Christine Baird "Your needs will diminish as you embody your own beauty." - Sarah Blondin I have been LOVING Sarah Blondin's meditations the past few months. See below for links where you can listen - highly recommend! She is worthfull at it's best. Today, I was listening to one while on my afternoon walk, and the line she said about embodying your own beauty struck me powerfully. What a wonderful way of describing owning your worth. I'm sharing my thoughts on this, and how timely it is for me, in this solo episode. Li...

Worthfull ProjectEP 135 // Before All the Doors Open // Christine Baird "Loneliness can also be grace and rest and the pause and the opportunity to rejuvenate." I'm sharing a quote I saved months ago and just rediscovered. It really encapsulated what I've been in this season of post-wedding integration and processing. I can tell that I'm on the verge of all the doors opening in my professional life. I've got really cool projects cooking that I'm quite excited about and this little chapter of quiet and alone-ness has been just the ticket to let the creative juices flow. I...

Worthfull ProjectEP 133 // Worthfull Work Recap // Christine Baird "The value of their relationships was a huge reflector of how their worth was carrying their careers forward." If you caught the Worthfull Work Bonus Series on the podcast last week, you know it was a gem. I'm sharing my recap and takeaways in today's episode to make sure I take note of them for myself. And I hope they spark a few new thoughts about your worth in your work as well. Also, I'm sharing an exciting teaser for next week's episode and a very fun n...

Worthfull ProjectEP 132 // Change Challenges Self-Worth // Christine Baird "Change is here to serve us, to teach us, to help us evolve. It's not just here to fill us with doubt." As I'm sure you can relate, I've been experiencing a LOT of change this year, this month, this season. For me it's been the pandemic, and getting married, and moving, and evolving my career, but I'm sure you can list all all your own top changes as well. I've been thinking lately about how all this change has impacted my self-worth; how it challenges my identity and...

Worthfull ProjectEP 131 // Worthfull Visions and Dreams // Christine Baird "A big part of living worthfully is owning our desire." I want to hear your thoughts. We are coming up on 3 years of the Worthfull Project podcast, which is delightful, and also means it's time for a new chapter. I've been dreaming bigger and envisioning what that next chapter looks like, and I want to know your thoughts -- because you are as much a part of this project as I am.

Worthfull ProjectEP 129 // Framing My Worth // Christine Baird "How you frame it shapes what it even becomes." - Rob Bell "Joy has no shame in repeating itself." I didn't feel like speaking today, so I put off recording this episode for most of the afternoon. But then I gifted myself a pick-me-up by watching all 1 hour and 19 minutes of Rob Bell's film, An Introduction to Joy, and I found something to say. I learned that how I frame my self-worth shapes what it even becomes - and that's worth sharing.

Worthfull ProjectEP 128 // A Worthfull Wedding Story // Christine Baird "This truly is the new set point of this new chapter of my life." Here is the final chapter in the worthfull wedding saga that I've been sharing pieces of this year. I felt it would be worth it to recap what I felt and learned as our wedding finally happened, in all its beautiful reality, and the worthfull lessons of being a pandemic bride. I am deeply grateful for the whole experience, the incredible support from so many, the beautiful miracle of our wedding, and the m...

Worthfull ProjectEP 126 // Worthy of Expression // Christine Baird "When we don't own our choices, it's a direct sign that we're not owning our worth." Sharing a thought from my journal today. I've been mostly silent about my wedding because it's been such a touch and go thing to plan during this pandemic. But as I thought today, 2.5 weeks out from the event, that silence hasn't been helpful. It's felt safe. But it's kept people who love me in the dark as to what's really going on in my life. The line I journaled this morning t...

Worthfull ProjectEP 125 // Worthfull Home Series Recap // Christine Baird I wanted to recap my takeaways and learnings from the Bonus Series I released last week on Worthfull Home. I had so much fun doing the series, and of course I learned quite a bit, so this episode is my own thoughts after listening to the series. I'd love to know your thoughts if you listened to any or all of the series! Let me know if you enjoyed the format, what future topics you'd like to see featured, and your favorite learnings.

Worthfull ProjectEP 124 // The Opposition Between Dark and Light // Christine Baird "The darkness doesn't change our worth. It changes our experience of our worth." I have had some real lows and some real breakthroughs this week in owning my worth. In choosing to believe in miracles, light, joy, and more. For me, the test has come through trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic. But as I've thought about what I'm being taught, I know it's universal. Whether you are experiencing the darkness of racial injustice, grieving the loss of the life you knew before a pandemic, o...

Worthfull ProjectEP 123 // Losing Control and Finding Worth // Christine Baird "Worth is such a gateway to everything else we want." I've had some perspective in the past couple weeks about what losing control (or the illusion of it) has taught me in the pandemic about my worth. I've been tested at deep, new levels to own my worth when so much feels like it's out of my control. I'm sharing what I've learned about the relationship between control and worth, what I've remembered I always have control over, and why this is all a beautiful chapter in coming home...

Worthfull ProjectEP 122 // Racism and Worth // Christine Baird I recorded a podcast this week, June 3rd, 2020, to remind myself what I was learning about worth in the wake of demands for justice after the murder of George Floyd. I don't expect anyone to listen, since there are much more important voices to listen to right now, but I wanted to record my internal experience so that I would remember. If there's one thing that I know about worth, it's that it has nothing to do with the color of your skin and everything to do with being human. I have learned...

Worthfull ProjectEP 120 // Feeling Worthy of Good Things // Christine Baird "There's a god force in this world and an adversarial force in this world." I realized last week that there has been some dark energy at work in me the last few weeks/quarantine/pandemic. It's been revealing to let it come to the surface and start to re-program my thoughts. In a nutshell, one of my oldest and deepest insecurities, "I'm not worthy of good things" has reinvented itself on a grander scale and I've been feeling down during the pandemic. Ex. I'm not worthy of g...

Worthfull ProjectEP 119 // Not Knowing the Meaning of Things // Christine Baird "You can't know the meaning of something the day it happens." I remember the first time I heard the idea that as humans, we are meaning-making machines. Wow, okay, yes, that makes sense. This has taken on another layer of meaning during a global pandemic when we are all desperate for meaning and can't find it yet. I heard the above quote at a community meditation gathering last month and have been pondering on it for a month. It feels relieving and freeing and also like something I...

Worthfull ProjectEP 118 // What Energy and Creativity Have to Do with Worth // Christine Baird "The time I feel most full of my own worth is when I'm pursuing my creative interests." I have had a surge of creative energy in the past two weeks, stemming from my decision to focus on worthfull home and whatever else sparks joy in me. It has been a welcome boost, I can say that much. But it also isn't random. I know that when I shift how I spend my time and energy to focus the bulk of it on things that light me up, m...

Worthfull ProjectEP 117 // A Home for My Worth // Christine Baird "Our environment deeply impacts our wellbeing and our experience of self-worth." I have something to share that is bursting out of me. It's in rough form, newly coming together, and still in ideation phase, but it's COMING. I can't stop thinking, especially during this shelter-in-place, about what makes a worthfull home. It has become the most interesting and important topic to me. I recorded a solo episode to start introducing the idea, while it's still in formation, and I can't wait to see it unfold. If I know one...

Worthfull ProjectEP 115 // Trusting My Intuition to Be Worthfull // Christine Baird "My intuition is already, always full of worth." I was talking to a friend this week about how challenging it can be to trust your intuition when you feel like it has betrayed you or led you astray. When things haven't gone well even though you felt like they were going to. When you've been deeply hurt by someone you felt connected to. As I talked on and on about my thoughts about this, I realized I needed to record a podcast to note what I've learned. I had...

Worthfull ProjectEP 114 // What Is Emerging Is Worth // Christine Baird "I am who I've always been." I have been doing a lot of thinking. A lot of listening. A lot of noticing. I'm feeling some big things shifting in me. And the through line is that my innate persona, my true self, my full worth, is emerging from deep down. It's noticed that I've slowed down and quieted down and am ready to receive it. I recorded a solo episode to note this moment in my journey. I'm as interested as you in what comes...

Worthfull ProjectEP 113 // Being Worthy of Support // Christine Baird "If I don't allow this paradigm shift to actually shift me, then what's the point of it?" I don't know about you, but I have been EMOTIONAL this past week. Combo of the world turning upside down indefinitely, postponing my wedding indefinitely, and taking on way too much energy as an empath, just to name a few. But one thing that has been showing up as I've been weeping my way through the week is support - from all sources. I've been so blessed with support from people and...

Worthfull ProjectEP 112 // Uncertain, Unproductive, and Quiet // Christine Baird "There's a bigger divine alignment happening that I don't fully understand yet, but I trust it." I did a little journaling last night and was surprised by what came out of me. So I'm sharing it + my thoughts about it on today's episode. I'm noticing how relieving the quiet and slow down of world is right now during the coronavirus pandemic. It's so anxious, but also so peaceful. So uncertain, but also so calm. So disruptive, but so quiet. A freedom born from chaos. A "divine alignment" as my...

Worthfull ProjectEP 111 // 3 Layers Deep of Worthfull Care // Christine Baird "If there's one thing I know, we all have something to contribute." Well here we are, all trying to figure out how to be. Me included. Earthquake wake-up calls, quarantining, economic ???, and more. I've felt the call to slow down. To contribute. To connect. To isolate. And above all to be compassionate and worthfull at a whole new level. This solo episode is my contribution for the week - some thoughts I've been having about how we care for each other and ourselves and why...

Worthfull ProjectEP 109 // It's All Going to Work Out // Christine Baird "We live in the state of what we already want." If you've been feeling a spot of overwhelm or doubt lately, you're in great company. Me too. Everyone says being engaged and planning a wedding isn't easy, and it's not. It's also not all bad, but I've definitely had a full plate between that and building my business and planning a move. So today's episode is all about reconnecting to the truth - that it's all going to work out. And no matter what and...

Worthfull ProjectEP 108 // The Marriage of Confidence and Worth // Christine Baird "My results changed; that's a fact. But my worth didn't; and that's also a fact." I've been reading, listening, and watching several things lately about the difference between self-worth and self-confidence. I love this conversation and it's not one I've often brought up on the podcast. Or is it? Haha, I don't know, all my thoughts run together on this. Today I went to the DMV to get a new drivers license and register my car. It felt like I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro (not quite Everest-level, but close). I...

Worthfull ProjectEP 107 // Remembering My Child Self // Christine Baird "Our bodies know the truth." I took a trip down memory lane this morning flipping through the pages of my childhood photo album. It was so fun. I was giggling and smiling from ear to ear. It reminded me of all the good of my childhood, all the things it's easy to forget, and of course, how worthfull I have always been. I recorded a solo episode about why I was looking at childhood photos, what I'm learning about being the sole adult authority figure...

Worthfull ProjectEP 106 // Being Before Doing // Christine Baird "The most important part of owning our worth is just being." I did a little check in with myself this morning. It's about six weeks into the new year and I have been PRODUCTIVE. Really getting things done. Busy, full, focused, intentional. I noticed recently that I've also been having a little trouble falling asleep. I've not been doing as much of the things that bring me joy. I've been spending more time on my laptop. I remembered the truism from self-development, "Be. Do. Have."...

Worthfull ProjectEP 105 // Investing in Worthfull Friendships // Christine Baird "If you aren't vulnerable, there is a lot less pain but a lot less love." - A Man Frozen In Time I spent the weekend in St. Louis for a best friends high school reunion girls trip. These 3 ladies have known me since I was a teenager, and we still have the best time when we get together. I wanted to record a solo episode about what I'm learning regarding owning my worth in friendships - how to create worthfull friendships and how to maintain them.

Worthfull ProjectEP 103 // Sovereign of My Life // Christine Baird "What could be more of a homecoming than claiming my sovereignty, my birthright?" I met and had a wonderful session with a top-notch healer this week. It was the kind of meeting that I knew was perfectly timed and I was ready for it. She talked to me about my body's alignment, misalignment, how that is a reflection of my inner world and workings, and what I get to shift to become fully empowered and healed. And she also worked out quite a bit of tightness in my neck...

Worthfull ProjectEP 102 // Joy and Pleasure: Essentials, Not Extras // Christine Baird "For no other reason than that I feel it, I feel the need for extra joy and pleasure right now." I've been really good at journaling in the morning so far this year. What came up for me this morning was that I'm experiencing a dip in my daily pleasure and joy. And that gets to be fixed! I've been so good at being productive, focused, and getting stuff done at the start of this new year, that I've let my priority of experiencing joy and pleasure daily slip...

Worthfull ProjectEP 101 // Coming Home to Myself // Christine Baird "Coming home to myself is the intention. Honoring my boundaries and living my values is the method. This is the beginning of Season 3 of the Worthfull Project podcast! I am delighted to be here and to announce some lovely new developments with the podcast. First, the theme of this season on the show (and in my life) is "coming home to myself." Every episode with explore this topic and how it relates to owning one's worth. I'm as excited as anyone to discover this along the way.

Worthfull ProjectEP 99 // Finding Home Within Myself // Christine Baird "Home will always be a construct of my mind and heart." It's the holidays (which I love), so I'm thinking about home, family, tradition, gratitude, etc. This is the last solo episode of Season 2 of the show, so I tuned into myself to see what I wanted to talk about. The word home came to me as a feeling, not a place. I've lived all over the country, so to me, this is normal. But as I thought about home from a worthfull perspective, it reminded me that we...

Worthfull ProjectEP 97 // Give What You're Here to Give // Christine Baird "It is no coincidence that you are on the planet right now living the life you are living." I recorded a podcast episode today with a beautiful friend that I'll share next week. Stay tuned. After we finished recording, we had a really special conversation in which she acknowledged me for what I am giving to the world because I am choosing to own my worth. That stuck with me the whole day and I was still thinking about it tonight, so I recorded a solo episode on my thoughts.

Worthfull ProjectEP 95 // Already Having Enough // Christine Baird"I am enough. I have enough. There is enough." I've been reading Ryan Holiday's new book, Stillness Is the Key, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Today I read a chapter about being at peace with having enough. And it got me thinking that we always already have enough. This is an interesting topic, laced with lots of emotion and opinion. It deals with scarcity, survival, comparison, power, validation, and much more. So I wanted to record a solo episode sharing my thoughts about what it means to be enough...

Worthfull ProjectEP 94 // Owning My Worth While In the Pit // Christine Baird "Hard times happen, and it has nothing to do with our worth." When things are challenging, it's easy for me to focus on how I'm not enough, how I deserve to struggle, and how it's all my fault. Don't know if you can relate, haha. However, even though I'm in a challenging chapter right now, supporting my boyfriend through a transitional, disruptive time, I've really felt the power of my worthfull habits sustaining me. I recorded a little solo episode, as a reminder to myself of at least four...

Worthfull ProjectEP 92 // Stillness Is Medicine // Christine Baird "A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention." - Herbert Simon I have become VERY interested in stillness and mindfulness in the last year. Since moving from LA to Salt Lake City, I've slowed everything down. It's been magical. I've also become more and more aware of the mental health challenges that affect all of us everyday. These are all intertwined in my mind. Self-worth, mental health, mindfulness, slowing down. So I recorded a solo episode, inspired by a new book I'm reading, on what I'm learning about...

Worthfull ProjectEP 90 // Love Over Judgment // Christine Baird"My feelings often follow my actions and my words." I have a long-standing habit, that I am constantly working on shifting, of judging the people closest to me. It's one of the parts of my ego I dislike the most, but am also learning to be graceful with. I have been working for a couple of weeks on shifting into love every time I notice myself judging my boyfriend. This is a conscious effort on my part to stop judging him for things that might never change -- or need to...

Worthfull ProjectEP 88 // Worthfull Self-Care at a Whole New Level // Christine Baird"It was no longer acceptable to me to run myself low and not replenish to 100." I am thrilled to say, I practiced self-care at a level that I have never experienced this last weekend. After an intense 10 day work trip, I knew I needed some quality time to replenish. And I delivered on my promise to myself. I was so overjoyed at experiencing self-care from a place of worth that I couldn't wait to record an episode sharing my experience. In this solo episode, I share how I prepped beforehand to...

Worthfull ProjectEP 87 // Truth v. Perfectionism // Christine Baird "The truth is somewhere in the middle." I read a post by one of my favorite marketing and business mentors, Seth Godin, about how we are innately biased when it comes to our opinion of our own work. I took that a step farther and thought about how we are innately biased when it comes to our opinion of our worth. If you've ever felt the struggle of perfectionism, you can probably relate. We perfectionists tend to either think we aren't ever going to be enough, or we think...

I spent the weekend at my parent's house for my nephew's baptism and it was lovely. I also had a minor emotional meltdown because it was the first time I'd taken my boyfriend to my parent's home. And it felt vulnerable. I recorded a little solo episode on my experience to share what I'm learning about owning my worth around who I was raised to be and who I've chosen to become...

Worthfull ProjectEP 85 // Owning My Worth While Making Mistakes // Christine Baird"Everything I do well now, I was once bad at." How do you feel when you make a mistake? I used to feel a lot of shame - especially when it was something I knew how to do better. As I've learned to own my worth, I've been shifting how I feel about making mistakes. And since I've been making lots of mistakes lately (new clients, business growth, relationship, etc), I've been really practicing owning my worth in all of them.

Worthfull ProjectEP 84 // Bring Your Best // Christine Baird"Show up like your work matters." I had a little epiphany while working on multiple client's projects last week and realized it had to do with worth. I work with mostly personal brands, so how a client prioritizes their work tells me how much they own their worth. I recorded a quick solo episode as a little business behind-the-scenes note on what I am learning about how to get the best service for your business, brand, project, or whatever you're working on that is important to you. And, of course, it...

Worthfull ProjectEP 83 // Joy First // Christine Baird "Human beings were created to experience joy." I had a beautiful experience this weekend in which I let myself be so "still" and rejuvenate so fully that I was actually energized and looking forward to a new work week by Sunday night. Novel. I realized that this was only possible because I've been practicing putting the things that bring me joy (and consequently fill me up with energy) first in my day to day priorities . . . and seeing everything else (work, to do lists, etc) fall into place around that...

Worthfull ProjectEP 82 // Dazzling God with Our Love // Christine Baird"What dazzles God isn't our accomplishments, it's our love." - Bob Goff I read this quote tonight on Instagram and it hit me like Bob's quotes always do - THE TRUTH. The thought of dazzling God is beyond. But when I considered what Bob was saying, I started to really get behind it. What happens when we own our worth is that we acknowledge our infinite capacity to love and give. We mirror God's love. And that's something pretty amazing. I'm sharing my thoughts on this in...

Worthfull ProjectEP 79 // Owning My Worth Within My Family // Christine Baird"Your worth is completely separate from your family's opinion of you." I spent last weekend with my family at a little reunion and it inspired me to record a solo episode on owning my worth within my family relationships. Ever struggled with that? Hahahahaha. I love my family and I love spending time with them. I've also learned lessons over the years about how I can own my worth no matter what they do or don't understand about me, as long as I take responsibility for my relationships with them.

Worthfull ProjectEP 78 // Letting the Unexpected Reflect Your Worth // Christine Baird"I am worthy of all of this joy and all of these blessings and all of this abundance and all of this grace." I have experienced so much of the unexpected in the last year of my life. And it's had me thinking recently about how blessed the unexpected can turn out to be. But I don't know that I've always seen it that way. A poem from Morgan Harper Nichols caught my eye on Pinterest a few weeks back, and I revisited it recently with a new perspective. I'm learning...

Worthfull ProjectEP 77 // Doing More of What Sparks Joy // Christine Baird"You often feel tired, not because you've done too much, but because you've done too little of what sparks a light in you." I cannot stop thinking about this idea. I've recorded multiple episodes now about how important it is to shift how we spend our time to align with what reminds us of our worth. I mean it in regards to our work, our relationships, our hobbies, our health, and everything else. The more I practice filling my time with things that spark joy in me, the easier it gets to own my worth...

Worthfull ProjectEP 74 // Finding Worth In My Beauty // Christine Baird"Look at yourself until you love what you see." I recently had some photos taken of myself for some forthcoming brand updates. My dear friend Meagan took them. My other dear friend Shelley was there too. It was the most supportive environment possible to have photos taken of myself. And I was still insecure. I got back the photos this weekend and looking through them I could feel my insecurities about my beauty pop right up. This didn't surprise me, but it made me think deeper about how heavily influenced I...

Worthfull ProjectEP 73 // Yes I Do Struggle (Frequently) // Christine Baird"I use all of the tools, all of the time." On my weekly accountability buddy call today, my sister friend Lucy mentioned that she is a fan of the podcast but hasn't heard me talk about how I struggle (and move through struggle) very often on it. Lucy knows I struggle. She hears me talk each week about my struggles. But I really appreciated her feedback that I maybe hadn't realized I don't talk much about that on the podcast. Well, here you go. I have learned...

Worthfull ProjectEP 72 // Worthfully Choosing What's Important // Christine Baird'And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, "This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!" And each day, it's up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart, and say, "No. This is what's important."' - Iain Thomas I had a beautiful holiday weekend (which I actually took as a holiday) and am feeling so refreshed, rejuvenated and happy. Like deeply happy. As I got into my to-do...

Worthfull ProjectEP 70 // Fear Doesn't Dictate Worth // Christine Baird"Don't think less of yourself if you can't be fearless. Doing it afraid is just as brave." - Morgan Harper Nichols I read this quote this afternoon, and it validated a lot of my thoughts on fear and worth through the years. It's very easy for me to think of fear as a truth-teller; after all, it's an instinct designed for survival. But what it doesn't tell the truth about is my worth. I can be terrified of all kinds of things and my worth is completely unaffected. Being...

Worthfull ProjectEP 69 // Taking Breaks Is Worth It // Christine Baird"I'm not slowing down. I'm taking care of myself. When you're working hard and you get tired, that's not a defect, it's a sign to refuel." - Jay Shetty I have been making a lot more rejuvenation space in my days lately. I've been taking more breaks. I've been giving myself more time to rest. And I love it. I still have a voice in my head that pops up to tell me that I'm lazy or irresponsible or dumb when I do that, but I'm learning to let it go...

Worthfull ProjectEP 68 // Receiving Daily Grace// Christine Baird"Grace comes from a source that sees our worth 100% of the time." I experience grace coming in and covering the gaps in my life on a daily basis. It's something that has been a huge part of learning to own my worth. Every time I notice how grace has made up the difference between my efforts and my results, I am amazed by it. I'm learning that grace is a perfect reflection of my unchanging worth. Today was one of those days where grace came in and...

Worthfull ProjectEP 66 // Prioritizing My Time to Bring Me Joy // Christine Baird"Does the proportion of the amount of time you spend on certain tasks align with how much they matter to you?" I've had a thought on my heart for months and months and I finally felt ready to talk about it on today's solo episode. I was out for a run this morning in the beautiful springtime city, listening to one of my favorite podcasts, and feeling 100. I knew there was no other place or activity that would be a better use of my time in that hour than exactly...

Worthfull ProjectEP 65 // Choosing the Unpaved Road // Christine Baird"Normality is a paved road. It's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow." - Vincent Van Gogh It seems I start all my solo episodes with, "I saw this quote on Pinterest and . . . " Pinterest is truly a wonderland of inspirational quotes. Today's quote is roughly attributed to Vincent Van Gogh, but regardless of who said, I resonate with it deeply. As I've been taking some perspective on the unpaved path I keep choosing to walk on my worthfull journey, I notice the highs and lows. T...

Worthfull ProjectEP 64 // Becoming a Priority in My Own Life // Christine Baird"Become a priority in your own life." I read this quote on Pinterest a few weeks ago, and it stuck with me. This has been a huge work-in-progress for me on my worthfull journey. From years of putting myself as low priority in my own life, I've been slowly learning to put myself higher and higher up on my own priority list. It's part of what prompted my recent career and lifestyle shift. It's what anchors my morning routine. It's why I take time to put...

Worthfull ProjectEP 62 // Allowing Myself All the Emotions // Christine Baird"Grieve. So that you can be free to feel something else." I read this quote on Pinterest the other morning, and it struck a chord. I haven't been grieving anything in particular lately, but I know the feeling of grief and how healing it is to allow it to run its course. It truly is freeing. And then I started thinking about how allowing any emotion that comes up to be felt is just as important. When I allow myself to...

Worthfull ProjectEP 60 // Shedding the Armor // Christine Baird "I've learned new ways to be protected and stay soft." I just got to LA for a work trip and have been noticing my emotions and thoughts on returning to the city that so much of my worthfull journey has happened in. The most palpable feeling I recognized on my first night here was the weight of the armor that I wore when I lived here -- armor I thought I needed to protect my self-worth as I rediscovered it. It was a powerful moment of perspe...

Worthfull ProjectEP 59 // Overcoming the Resistance to Worth // Christine Baird"Resistance is simply my ego trying to keep me safe. But the truth is, I am safe." I have been working on (and procrastinating on) a big project for months now. It's going to be a really wonderful thing once I finish it. But I've had plenty of resistance come up against me doing just that. I realized today, after committing that no matter what, today was the day that I would finish the project, that this resistance has been pushing on me the whole time, but it was s...

What a beautiful way to think about happiness - a holy redemption that is our choice. At the end of the day, I had a conversation with my friend Henry, and found myself telling him about all the beautiful parts of my life that I have cultivated because I s...

'No,' said the old man, 'There's too much risk in not.'" - Atticus I have something special to share with you in honor Valentine's Day today -- and in honor of the journey I've been on to open my heart back up to love, from a place of worth. For the past few years, and the past year specifically, I have been healing some deep wounds around love. I've been learning new habits, letting old ones go, rewiring...

Worthfull ProjectEP 56 // Worth Regardless of Circumstance // Christine Baird"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." - Friederich Nietzsche I watched a TED talk today that made my whole world pause and sort itself out. You know the kind? This one is by a couple, Mark and Simone, who have faced extreme challenges. They called their talk, "A love letter to realism," and it made me think of the choice I have every day to own my worth regardless of my circumstances. I've thought about this topic a lot, e...

I read a note in my phone this morning (during my morning routine) that I wrote 4.5 years ago. It was from the very beginning of my big life transformation - when I quit my corporate job, was in therapy, building a whole new kind of life. I had written out a list of blog post ideas for a blog I hadn't even fully designed yet; one of t...

Worthfull ProjectEP 53 // Giving Myself Permission to Heal // Christine Baird "I felt myself come back home to myself. And I didn't even know I was away." I've been so excited to share a solo episode on Season 2 of the podcast because I have SO MUCH to share. Over the holidays, I moved from LA to Salt Lake City, shifted my entire work flow and clientele, took a six week break from work, reconnected with old friends, made lots of new ones, spent time with my family, let myself enjoy the holidays and . . . healed.

I have been traveling and wrapping up some chapters of my life in LA. I wanted to skip today's episode because I'm tired and ready to vacation. And I'm traveling. And it's late. And I've been doing a lot. And then as I was texting my dear friend Rebecca, I was reminded of how much this project matters to me. And that it's important for me to be honest about what matters...

Worthfull ProjectEP 46 // Receiving Support Because I'm Worth It // Christine Baird"I feel so full because I've been receiving." I just moved from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City and was a little occupied for the past two weeks (hence missing a week of posting an episode). However, what I experienced during the move was so beautiful, I couldn't wait to share an episode on the topic. I have moved many times in my life but rarely have I ever received all the support people offer me. When I wasn't owning my worth, I thought that other people should receive support before m...

Worthfull ProjectEP 44 // The Difference Between Value and Worth // Christine Baird"The way we own our worth determines the value that we will offer to the world." I'm right in the middle of a busy stretch of work weeks and having a great time. So it felt fitting when my good friend Nick asked me to record an episode on the difference between value and worth. I've been thinking a lot about my value in the workplace lately as I've been transitioning my clientele and getting interesting new gigs. But I know that the very best gigs come when I own my w...

Worthfull ProjectEP 43 // Asking My Future Self for Wisdom // Christine Baird"Ask your future self the questions you are afraid to ask." I have been a mentor coach in one of my favorite leadership trainings for the past couple of months and it has been wonderful, as always. But this past weekend, during one of our weekend trainings, our coach led us through a visualization that was so powerful, I knew I needed to write it all down so that I'd never forget. I then decided it would be even better if I recorded an episode about it as well -- so t...

Worthfull ProjectEP 42 // My Energy Comes From My Worth // Christine Baird"We can't control our circumstances, but we can control what we choose to do with our time." One of the biggest lessons I've learned from living in Los Angeles for the past few years is to honor the worth of everyone around me -- no matter their circumstances. So many people in this city are experiencing homelessness. I see people sleeping on the street I live on every night. It can feel like an overwhelming issue -- so much suffering and challenge and struggle. But I've been learning to see this as...

Worthfull ProjectEP 41 // When the Results Aren't There Yet // Christine Baird"Worthfull worth is intact no matter what kind of results we are creating." Do you ever feel like your worth goes down the toilet when you haven't created any results lately that you can show others to prove it? I definitely experience this. Not as much as I used to. But I definitely feel this still at times. I was feeling this way a couple of days ago and actually got excited. I realized it was a perfect worthfull episode in the making. Because if there's one thing I've l...

Worthfull ProjectEP 39 // Keeping My Worth Intact During Big Transitions // Christine Baird"We get to show up in a way that invites others to own their worth." I keep having conversations and getting asked questions about how to own your worth during big life transitions. Things like marriage, divorce, becoming a parent, starting a new career, etc. I've been thinking a lot about this as well since I'm in the middle of some big life transitions myself (career shift, moving, dating again). I LOVE this part of being worthfull. Big life transitions are some of the best opportunities to practice owning my worth. T...

Worthfull ProjectEP 38 // Choosing My Battles // Christine Baird"There are so many battles that don't need to be fought today." I was talking to my roommate Candice last night about how I'm learning to manage my responsibilities and also take care of myself. We talked about how responsibilities can feel like battles - career, money, relationships, spirituality, etc. - and how they can overwhelm us if we're not mindful. I found myself sharing a thought that I've had many times but had never spoken out loud. I've learned to choose my battles on any given day and only expect s...

But then I realized I had an opportunity to talk about something much closer to my heart today. I am single, I've been single for a long time, and I just got rejected yesterday in a promising relationship. So it's a perfect time for me to check in with h...

It's something I do once a year and it always fills me up with gratitude. About 3 years ago, I took the training myself, and it was transformational to say the least. To this day, it's still a huge part of me learning to own my worth. Since I was back in that environment this weekend, I was reflecting o...

I wanted to dive into one of the most important topics of living worthfully today -- dropping the habit of self-judgment and returning to the habit of self-love. This has been a HUGE part of my journey to own my worth. Huge. It's ongoing, and I'm constantly learning as I go. It's one of the most challenging pieces of living worthfully, but it's also one of the most rewarding. As I was journaling t...

And then I thought what a delight it would be to share my thoughts on the worth of daydreaming. Here's the thing: I have been a big daydreamer since I was a little girl but I tried to force myself out of the habit a few years back. I had started to distrust my dreams. It was rough. Over the past 4 years, I've fallen b...

I'm in an evolution in my own career, and I did a massive career change 4 years ago, so it's something I have experience with. The first six years of my career I worked in corporate insurance sales - about as traditional of a profession as you can get.

Since I've been vacationing a lot lately, I didn't feel the need for a holiday. But something told me to slow down and take one anyway. As a result, I ended up mindlessly watching some IGTV that in turn gave me huge inspiration on a variety of topics that I'm n...

So when I was watching the new announcement about IG TV today, I got reflective about how I judge people's worth based on their digital persona.

I got to go there with a couple of vloggers, creators, and influencers who are committed to elevating the human experience. You can probably imagine how great the conversations we had were. As we talked late into the night over tacos, we kept circling back around to the idea that what we have to offer is enough -- but we have to b...

Last week I recorded two episodes in one sitting (thinking they'd be one), so now it's time to post the second part. As I was talking about the value of showing the unpolished process of our lives, I thought of all the mistakes I make, both public and private. I used to feel awful when I made any kind of significant mistake. It would really take a hit on my worth for a bit. But o...

It's the thing that held me back from sharing my ideas and voice publicly for so long. And it's the thing that I am now having a lot of fun reversing. It's what I call showing the "unpolished" sides of yourself to t...

I was in an Uber on my way somewhere and was telling my driver about this podcast. He listened to me describe what it was about and then asked, "What does self-worth mean?" It suddenly occurred to me that I have been assuming that everyone defines self-worth the same way I do. Turns o...
