Or that taking time for ourselves is shameful behavior.Due to this belief, there can be a sense of self-care guilt that often stops us from taking note of and creating space for our requirements for happiness. We end up feeling overwhelmed, burned out, unheard, and completely unsupported.

Learning how to let go of the guilt around creating self-care can help you get closer to creating a fulfilling and happy life – one you feel supported in living.

Worthy was created after years of studying people-pleasers and watching women continuously neglect their happiness in a never-ending effort to please others.

Overwhelmingly, the common block that held these incredible women back from setting boundaries, saying No, and making positive changes in their lives was an overall belief that they were not worthy enough to do so. They were also too f*cking scared to make a move when it came right down to it.

Are you one of these women?

This course will guide you through three modules to help you become unblocked and start to see that you are worthy. Setting empowered boundaries is in your future!
