Embracing Self-Worth: A Journey from Unworthiness to Inner Strength (Part 1) 🌟

A Moment of Reflection πŸŒ…

Continuing from my previous reflections, today I want to dive deeper into the journey from feelings of unworthiness to embracing self-worth. This weekend, I was jet skiing at St. Clair Flatsβ€”the largest freshwater delta in the worldβ€”with my son. It had me reflecting on this journey. For a long time, I felt I wasn’t good enough, which led to anxiety, depression, and self-medication.
