TMIT 11: Worthiness

🎙️ Episode 11: Worthiness<br><br>In our newest episode—<strong>Worthiness</strong>—we’re continuing our journey through Brené Brown’s <a href="https://brenebrown.com/art/the-wholehearted-parenting-manifesto/">Wholehearted Parenting Manifesto</a>.<br><br>📜 “I want you to engage with the world from a place of worthiness.”<br><br>🌱 <strong>Worthiness</strong> = A grounded feeling and core belief that says, “I deserve to take up space in this world.”<br><br>This one hits close to home.<br><br>We have a child who is easygoing, adaptable, the family peacemaker. And yet—we’re learning that those same qualities can lead her to shrink. To accommodate. To keep the peace and stifle her wants.<br><br>So this week we’re asking:<br>How do we raise kids who believe they are worthy—without needing to be helpful, quiet, agreeable, or easy to love?<br>How do we help them trust that it’s safe to rock the boat and still belong?<br><br>🎧 In this episode, we talk about:<br>- How worthiness differs from loved and lovable<br>- Why adaptable ≠ low need<br>- The invisible ways some people learn to disappear—and how we as a family can support them in claiming space<br><br>Each person in our family deserves to know they don’t have to earn their place. They belong—not because they’re easy or exceptional—but simply because they’re here.
