Worth Less Than What: The Two-Word Reality Check

In this episode of She Asked: Tools for Practical Hope, Anna McBride sits down with psychotherapist Dawna Daigneault for a deeply insightful conversation on self-worth—what it is, how it’s formed, and why so many of us struggle to feel it.With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dawna shares her personal story and the moments that shaped her understanding of worth, along with the development of her Worth Conscious Theory—a framework that helps people reconnect to a stable, internal sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent on external validation.Together, Anna and Dawna explore how early life experiences shape our sense of worth, why self-worth and self-esteem are not the same, and how many of us unknowingly live with a “lost worth story” that influences our relationships, choices, and emotional lives.This episode is for anyone who has ever felt “not enough,” even after doing the work—and is ready to move from awareness into real, lived change.In this episode, we cover: – The difference between self-worth and self-esteem – How childhood experiences shape your sense of worth – What a “lost worth story” is and how it develops – Why self-worth isn’t something you lose—but something you can deny – Practical ways to begin rebuilding a grounded sense of selfDawna also shares powerful tools from her work, including how to challenge the belief of being “worthless” and begin reconnecting with your inherent value.—✨ Learn more about Dawna’s work: Website: https://understanding-self-worth.com Facebook Group: Understanding Self-Worth✨ Schedule your Free Call with Anna💌 Join Anna's Newsletter🎬 Subscribe on YouTube✨Follow on Instagram
