Own it!

Trying to feel worthy by chasing approval is exhausting. Brené Brown’s work cuts straight to the heart of this struggle, encouraging us to fully step into our own stories rather than standing outside, hustling for validation. She shows that real belonging and self-worth come when we stop avoiding our truths and start embracing them, imperfections included.

This approach aligns closely with Rachel Cargle, a contemporary writer and activist who centers vulnerability and self-awareness in her work on social justice and healing. Cargle talks about how embracing our full, complicated selves especially as women and people of color is essential to dismantling internalized shame and reclaiming power. Like Brown, she sees owning your story as a radical act of self-love and resistance.

In contrast, Roxane Gay offers a more ambivalent take on self-ownership. While she champions vulnerability and honesty, Gay also highlights how trauma, societal pressures, and internal conflicts can complicate the idea of fully “owning” your story. She reminds us that sometimes, parts of our stories feel fractured or even hostile to our sense of self, making the journey toward acceptance messy and nonlinear.

Still, Brené Brown’s invitation is both grounding and hopeful. She encourages us to stop exhausting ourselves by seeking worthiness outside and instead find it by stepping inside our stories, with all their flaws and beauty. It’s not about perfection but about showing up authentically. In doing so, we discover that worthiness isn’t something we have to chase - it’s always been inside us, waiting to be claimed.

I did a Quantum Leap 5 years ago when I quit drinking. I believe that the old me died that day and a version of myself came in and took over. I have never wanted to drink since. Bashar says that this version of me NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM. 🤯
