How Do you Measure your Value?

"I think our value and our values get all kinds of conflated and mixed up."

We often hear about self-love and its pivotal role in creating a joyful life. But defining self-love is subjective and multifaceted. It involves caring, self-respect, boundaries, and counteracting our harsh inner critic. Today, Erin delves beyond self-love to examine the societal and personal metrics we use to gauge our worth.

Join Erin as she questions the conflation of material wealth, career success, physical appearance, and external approval with our intrinsic value. She asks us to reconsider what true value means in our lives and how our values may have been skewed by societal norms.

In this episode, Erin discusses:

1. The societal emphasis on material wealth and the pros and cons of caring a lot about financial success
2. Whether career achievements and professional accolades truly correlate with self-worth
3. The complicated relationship women have with physical appearance and desirability as we age
4. The roles of daughter, sister, wife, friend, and mother, and how we assess our value within these relationships
5. The deep-rooted cultural messages that impact our self-worth
6. The internal qualities and strengths that may hold true value, such as creativity, resourcefulness, kindness, and impact on others
