Unconditionally Worthy Podcast

I deeply believed that I was unlovable for years and the biggest challenge I had on my journey to embracing my unconditional self-worth was believing that I’m lovable and letting go of the belief that I needed a partner to prove that I was worthy.  I wonder if you’ve ever struggled with the same thing? I want you to know that you’re not alone in what can be a sometimes painful journey and that there are things you can do to turn your journey to finding love beautiful and empowered just like mine was in the end.  Tune in to hear the nitty gritty of my struggles in love and how I triumphantly created my happily ever after.  IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT… * How my belief that I was unlovable impacted my dating and relationships.  * My rock bottom experience in my journey to love.  * How I made internal shifts to finally be ready for the love and partnership I desired.  * How claiming my worth changed the game.  * How I’m living my happily ever after.  * And more!  This episode is also a bit of a farewell as I pause the podcast indefinitely.

Have you ever been left waiting for what you wanted? Maybe it was waiting for a promotion, waiting for love, waiting for a baby. I think we all go through waiting periods in our lives and if you’re anything like me, it can be hard to wait.  I want you to know that you’re not alone in your waiting. At some point this summer (I’m not sure exactly when), I got put in a metaphorical waiting room.  I didn’t know that I was being put in a waiting room and just like my toddler does when we ask her to do something she doesn’t want to do, I went kicking and screaming.  In this episode of the Unconditionally Worthy podcast, I’m sharing about my experience struggling with and eventually accepting and learning from a waiting period in my life. This episode will help you think constructively about your own times of waiting so that they can be transformative in your life.  IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT… * What it felt like to be in a metaphorical waiting room.   * The gifts of waiting.   * The lessons that I learned from my time of waiting.   * Questions to ask yourself when you are in a period of waiting.  * And more!  Relevant Resources: Email me at dradia@dradiagooden.com [dradia@dradiagooden.com] to learn more about my new coaching program to help high achieving professional Black women in their 30s and 40s claim their worth and find love.  If you enjoyed this discussion, share it with a loved one, then… Leave a Rating & Review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify to show your love to The Unconditionally Worthy Podcast!

This has been a hard year for me. Not all bad by any measure but definitely hard.  I started the year out with big goals and plans for my business and met very few of them.  My themes for this year were fun and ease and, ironically, I struggled with both of those things.  I experienced the resurgence of self-worth challenges that I thought I had resolved and was reminded of the ongoing nature of our self-worth journeys.  In this episode of the Unconditionally Worthy Podcast, I’m sharing this with you because I want to be open and honest about my own self-worth journey, not just where I’ve been (there are many episodes where I’ve shared that) but where I am now and how I’m moving through the challenging periods in my life.  IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT… * The challenges I navigated this year.  * How I moved through these challenges.  * What helped me to ground myself in my unconditional self-worth during challenging times.  * Pausing the podcast indefinitely.  Relevant Resources: Dr. Adia’s Free E-Book: 4 Practices to Connect with Your Unconditional Self-Worth https://dradiagooden.com/freee-book/ [https://dradiagooden.com/freee-book/] If you enjoyed this discussion, share it with a loved one, then… Leave a Rating & Review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify to show your love to The Unconditionally Worthy Podcast!

So many of us struggle with perfectionism. Women in particular are socialized to believe that being perfect makes us worthy. If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent years trying to be perfect in all the ways you could think of (academically, professionally, in friendships, in romantic relationships, etc.). After pursuing perfectionism for long enough we are left exhausted and disconnected from the things that used to bring joy into our life.  I want to encourage you, one recovering perfectionist to another, that there is another way. That’s exactly what my guest on this episode of the Unconditionally Worthy podcast and I are talking about. I’m joined by Dr. Rebecca Hubbard a licensed clinical psychologist, Kemetic Yoga instructor, former student athlete, and recovering perfectionist. Listen in as Dr. Rebecca shares about her  own self-worth journey, how she is releasing perfectionism and how both of us are avoiding the traps of pursuing perfection as new moms.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT… * The problem with perfectionism.   * How to slow down and lean into the messy middle of life. * The miracle of being alive.  * Lessons from being new moms. * How therapy helps us to engage in a process of being.   * and more!

Intergenerational trauma is something that impacts most of us whether we know it or not. The trauma that our mothers experienced when we were in their wombs impacts us, the trauma that their mothers experienced impacted them and on and on and on. While it can be discouraging to consider the trauma that has impacted so many people in our lineage, it is empowering to know that we can heal intergenerational trauma and to remember the strength that we can draw from our ancestors. Healing intergenerational trauma is about what we do in our own lives to break the cycle and how we change things for future generations.  In this episode of the Unconditionally Worthy podcast I’m joined by Dr. Mariel Buqué who is a psychologist, intergenerational trauma expert, and author.  Listen in as Dr. Mariel shares about how imposter syndrome was a big factor in her own self-worth journey and shares her deep wisdom and practical insights on how we can heal intergenerational trauma.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT… * What intergenerational trauma is.   * How to heal intergenerational trauma. * Why it’s important to invite in grief.  * Imposter syndrome. * Drawing on intergenerational strength.   * and more!
