Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the work he called us toward.

Justice is not passive. It requires courage, reflection, and a willingness to examine systems as well as ourselves. Dr. King reminded us that progress is built through moral clarity, collective responsibility, and sustained action, not comfort or silence.

May today be more than remembrance. May it be a recommitment to listening deeply, acting with integrity, and contributing to a world shaped by dignity, equity, and compassion.

Imposter thoughts often convince capable people that confidence must come first. That worth is something you earn after you prove yourself.

In a recent conversation on Modern Wisdom, Mel Robbins speaks openly about ADHD and how years of pressure, comparison, and internalized expectations shaped persistent self-doubt, especially for women navigating achievement-driven spaces.

Clinically, many high-achieving women with ADHD learn to interpret inconsistency or overwhelm as personal failure rather than neurobiological difference. Over time, worth becomes conditional. Productivity becomes the measure. Rest starts to feel undeserved.

From a reclaiming worth lens, the work is not fixing yourself.

It is disentangling worth from systems that were never built with your nervous system in mind.

Growth does not require self-erasure.
Confidence does not require perfection.
Worth is not performance.

01/07/2026

Listening to The School of Greatness episode “You Are Your Greatest Asset” featuring Eric Thomas landed as a clean reminder of something many high-achieving people forget under chronic pressure.

Worth is not proven through productivity.
Worth is not earned through exhaustion.
Worth is not lost when you slow down, rest, or choose differently.

From a clinical lens, self-worth becomes fragile when it is contingent on performance. That contingency fuels anxiety, imposter phenomenon, and burnout. Reclaiming worth is the corrective process. It means internalizing value as inherent, stable, and not dependent on output.

This episode echoes a core Reclaiming Worth principle. You are not the job title. You are not the metrics. You are the asset carrying all of it.

Clinical reframe for the week:
Shift from outcome-based self-evaluation to values-based self-regard. Observe how your nervous system responds when worth is no longer on trial.

Growth does not require self-abandonment. It requires self-recognition.

“You’re gonna be a star, you’re gonna be a star.” – Sia, Never Give Up

World Autism Awareness Day is a reminder that everyone’s journey is unique. Individuals living with autism bring their own strengths, perspectives, and talents to the world. Advocacy is key in ensuring they are heard, respected, and given equal opportunities. It’s not about fitting in, but about being accepted for who you are.

Let’s continue to advocate for inclusion, support, and understanding, creating spaces where every individual, no matter their neurodiversity, can thrive and be celebrated.

Never give up on those who see the world in their own beautiful way.

Empowerment means pushing forward, even when systems are built to hold you back. Throughout history, women have risen against oppression, reclaimed their voices, and demanded change. No one can take away your power when you choose to rise, resist, and reclaim your space.

This National Women’s History Month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and courage of those who have fought—and continue to fight—for equality. Keep moving, keep fighting, and never forget—you are unstoppable.

You can take everything I have, you can break everything I am, like I’m made of glass, like I’m made of paper, go on and try to tear me down, I will be rising from the ground.” – Demi Lovato, Skyscraper

Self-harm awareness is crucial, as it highlights the emotional and mental struggles many individuals face in silence. Society’s pressures, stigmas, and unrealistic expectations can contribute to feelings of worthlessness, anxiety, and distress, which sometimes manifest as self-harm. It is essential to recognize that self-harm is a coping mechanism for deep emotional pain rather than a mere act of rebellion or attention-seeking.

Support, understanding, and empathy can make a significant difference. By reducing the stigma around mental health and creating environments where individuals feel safe to express their pain, we can help those who struggle with self-harm to heal and find healthier ways to cope.

If you or someone you know is struggling, remember you are not alone. Reach out, speak up, and let’s break the cycle of silence together.
