Episode Title: Self-Worth, Grief, and the Courage to Create: A Conversation with Deborah Weed
Episode Summary:
What does it truly mean to know your worth? And how does that change when you’re walking through grief?
In this deeply moving episode of the Pregnancy Loss and Motherhood Podcast, host Vallen Webb welcomes guest Deborah Weed, founder of the Self-Worth Initiative and author of Paisley’s Last Quill and The Luckiest Penny. Together, they explore what self-worth really is, how family dynamics shape it, and why many of us confuse self-worth with self-esteem.
Deborah shares her powerful journey of overcoming illness, creative rediscovery, and the inspiration behind her books and upcoming Broadway-style musical. Through stories of resilience, creativity, and personal loss, she offers listeners heartfelt lessons on reclaiming power, finding healing through creativity, and embracing both grief and joy at the same time.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- The difference between self-esteem and self-worth (and why it matters)
- How childhood and parental relationships shape the way we see ourselves
- Deborah’s story of illness, loss, and rediscovering her voice through creativity
- Tools for navigating grief in all its forms—whether loss of a loved one, a relationship, or even a dream
- The healing power of creativity, joy, and duality (wailing and wonder at the same time)
This conversation is a reminder that you are inherently valuable, no matter what you’ve been through—and that even in grief, creativity and love can bring you back to yourself.
