Sisterhood: Connecting Through Meaningful ConversationsEpisode 61: Your Self Worth Isn't Defined By What You EarnWe have been taught to measure our worth by how much we earn.

In this episode I am talking about self-worth from the perspective of no longer defining your self worth by what you earn. I explore why we develop these beliefs, changing the way we communicate with each other and ourselves, and how to create a new value system that supports yours (and each others) mental and emotional health. 2022-10-0341 min
