“When we can let go of what other people think and own our story,
we gain access to our worthiness—
the feeling that we are enough just as we are
and that we are worthy of love and belonging.
When we spend a lifetime trying to distance ourselves
from the parts of our lives that don’t fit
with who we think we’re supposed to be,
we stand outside of our story and hustle for our worthiness
by constantly performing, perfecting, pleasing, and proving.”
