EP. 17 - Three Lies Women Are Told About Their Worth

It's time to bring this conversation forward and get real about the lies women are told about their worth. There are many, but here are the three overarching lies I see women handed - that your worth is dependent on: 1) Your body 2) Motherhood 3) Being likableYou are fed these lies by subtle and not-so-subtle messages from magazines, TV, social media, and real people in your life - who were also fed these lies. When you don't live up to the standard of this lie, you feel bad. Shame ensues. You think you're doing something wrong. You think part of YOU is wrong.It's not. Nothing was ever wrong with you. The lies are wrong - not you. Your worth was never dependent on anything outside of you. It doesn't matter what your body looks like, whether or not you're a mother, how "likable" you are - or anything else. We'll dive into all of this in today's episode, and:The shame I felt in my body - and in myself - because I couldn't lose weight and get thinThe annoying, frustrating, and angering message we get that motherhood is the highest calling and purpose for a woman - no matter what your motherhood status isWhat likability bias is - and how we can start to break it downLinks:Join Heather's email list and be the first to get all the details about the upcoming pre-sale for her next book!Learn more about hiring Heather to speak at your organizationGet Heather's book, An Overachiever's Guide To Breaking The Rules
