The Self-Worth Series: Your Worth is Not Measured by Productivity
Manage episode 480041776 series 3645791
Who are you when you're not checking things off a to-do list?
In a world that glorifies hustle and burnout, we’re constantly taught that our value is tied to how much we do, achieve, or produce.
But your worth was never meant to be measured by output.
In this validating episode of The Fearless & Worthy Series, clinical psychologist Dawn Petgrave Smith, and fitness coach Sherine Petgrave joins us to unpack:
- Why we equate busyness with value—and how that mindset starts early
- How the hustle culture shaped the way we define success
- How to create space for rest, joy, and purpose without guilt
- How to identify the signs that someone is overworking to prove their value
If you’ve ever felt like you only matter when you’re achieving something, this episode is your permission slip to be enough, just as you are.
✅ Self-Worth Tip of the Week: Take one intentional break this week—with no guilt and no “catching up” later. You are not behind.
