Self-Worth

With all the work I have done on myself in the last 4.5 years, it might be shocking to know that I didn’t know I had self-worth or value until six months ago.

Talk about the saddest realization I have ever had.

It is easier to have authentic and consistent perseverance with that.

I could point fingers at why I didn’t know this, but why?

I have had many realizations before and after this one.

Including the fact that people can’t help who they are.

Most people are not intentionally trying to hurt you. They are either fragile, insecure, or hurting. One could use another word to describe them, but those three come to mind. Either way, they need something.

Every human being is innately good, but we let circumstances mold and bend us.

I am not sure what the cure is for this, but yesterday, I listened to a speech by Dr. Sean Stephenson. I don’t know if it is publicly accessible online, but if you scroll this page, you can find the speech I am talking about.

He said the cure for insecurities is self-care.

Oh, how funny! I have been working on that with intensity over the last 8–9 months, in stages, of course. I have been working on my mind for the last 5 years and figuring out a plan to get intentional about my body for the last 10 months.

If you know me, you might remember all the physical (health-related) suffering I was experiencing last summer. I went to the doctor and got diagnosed, which I believe was a misdiagnosis, but I didn’t accept defeat. I found a path. For me, it was self-discovery, self-diagnosing, self-dosing, and self-observation.

Trial and error.

I rapidly lost 25 lbs in the fall of 2023 to regain five during the holidays. I lost those five relatively fast in 2024 with some minor adjustments, but with some extreme adjustments, I lost 36+ pounds from summer to summer.

It wasn’t easy.

I am not 20-something anymore.

But it was simple once I had acceptance and compliance in my heart.

A considerable part of this has been stress.

My industry has been rocked upside down.

My eyes have been opened in so many ways.

And I am here today, launching a little girl’s dream of helping people.

To bring it full circle, I think we are all special—God’s greatest gift. So why bottle and hide? We should be sharing and taking pride in who we are. The world needs us, and someone in particular needs us.

Stop not.

With love,

Jo
