Jamie is donating 100% of her author proceeds from her new book, Worthy, to charity as well."
Worthy
Buy on Amazon"The book is available as we speak. Please welcome to the show the author of Worthy, Jamie Kern Lima."
Worthy
Buy on Amazon"I remember when you actually told me you were divinely downloading this book. Yes, and I wanted to start off; there are so many things I want to talk about in the book, but the thing that's calling me to start with is do you feel worthy today?"
Worthy
Buy on Amazon"Yes, and I wanted to start off; there are so many things I want to talk about in the book, but the thing that's calling me to start with is do you feel worthy today? Our self-worth is our ceiling in every area of life."
Worthy
Buy on Amazon"So listen to this; this is reading from Worthy by Jamie Kern Lima, page one: 'For the 80% of women who don't believe they're enough, for the 75% of female executives who deal with impostor syndrome, for the 91% of girls and women who don't love their bodies, for the 73% of men who feel inadequate, and for the 100% of men who come from a woman and likely have at least one girl or woman in their lives whom they care about, when you believe you're fundamentally not enough and unworthy as a person, it's a lie; the time to unlearn that lie has come."
Worthy
Buy on Amazon"As I sat here and read through the lies, I was just like, 'I've told myself that one, I've told myself that one, I've told myself that one, I've told myself that one,' and I think our community who's listening to On Purpose right now or watching will definitely feel that these lies are relatable. So I'd love to dive into some of them that really stick out to me; and I love that you've made it about unlearning lies rather than building self-worth, because it almost feels so hard to be like, 'Well how do I build my self-worth?'."
Worthy
Buy on Amazon"So let's start with—I want to start, and we're not going to go through all of them, because I want you guys to read the book—but I'm going to pick out a couple that really resonated with me. The first one that really resonated with me was, of course, 'Don't wait on your weight.'"
Worthy
Buy on Amazon"This is a whole chapter in Worthy, like you said, where I go into all these lies and how do you unlearn them. This chapter is not about your weight; it's about that if you've been waiting on your weight to live your best life—or, by the way, the weight of expectations, other people's expectations, or your own—what weight are you letting hold you down?"
Worthy
Buy on Amazon"And I get excited for what’s coming, because this isn't happening to me; it's happening for me. I detail how to build this new set of definitions in my book."
Worthy
Buy on Amazon"In the book, I worked through the meaning I assigned to being adopted and growing up often alone. I realized I could either continue to tell myself a disempowering story or redefine it in a way that resonates with the truth."
Worthy
Buy on Amazon"If you’re listening, consider picking up a copy of my book, which is all about believing you are enough and transforming your life. It contains simple steps with life-changing results and is available now; I'm also donating 100% of author proceeds to a meaningful cause."
