A big lesson I’m right in the middle of is unlearning a pattern I didn’t even know was running so many areas of my life–my relationship with receiving. In this episode, I reflect on my personal journey with worthiness and receiving, and the small, powerful ways I’m actively shifting the pattern at its root. I share how to identify where in your life you feel “undeserving” of receiving, stretch your self-worth muscle, and support yourself when triggers show up. Receiving isn’t about being passive—it’s about being receptive. Join me in tapping into the expansion energy of receiving and allow amazing things to pour in!   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 What I’ve realized about my relationship with receiving. 08:35 Where in your life do you feel the urge to ‘do more’ in order to feel worthy of receiving? 12:15 Daily micro-practices to shift the pattern at its root. 18:15 How to tangibly support yourself through triggers. 20:20 What is the key to opening yourself to receiving more?   RESOURCES + LINKS Click HERE for tickets to the 2025 Powerhouse Women Event August 15-17th in Scottsdale, Arizona!
