This week on The Worthwild Podcast, I sit down with Katie T to talk all things self-worth, healing, and growth. Katie shares her journey moving from England to Ireland and then all the way to New Zealand, and the lessons she's learned about belonging, people-pleasing, and finding her own voice along the way. After an unhealthy relationship left her feeling disconnected, Katie chose to rediscover herself. That's when she found spaces like Lighthouse, where she began leaning into vulnerability, self-awareness, and self-love. We talk about how healing isn't a finish line but a daily choice, the magic of small joys and gratitude, and what it actually means to choose yourself (spoiler: it's never the wrong choice). Katie also shares her experience with Outward Bound and how stepping outside your comfort zone can help you meet yourself in new ways. This is an honest, hopeful, and heart-filled conversation that reminds us that every part of who we are is worthy of compassion.

In this gentle guided meditation, you're invited to pause, land in the present moment, and reconnect with your breath and body. Through grounding techniques, a calming body scan, and self-love affirmations, this practice helps you soften inner criticism, cultivate compassion, and return to the truth of your worth. Visualize your body as a calm lake, and let each affirmation ripple through you, offering acceptance, tenderness, and the reminder that you are already enough. Whether you're new to meditation or just need a reset, this episode is a peaceful space to come back to yourself. Perfect for: Starting or ending your day with intention Shifting out of stress or self-doubt Creating a deeper connection with your inner self If you enjoyed this meditation and want more practices, journaling prompts, or support in building a better relationship with yourself, you can find me on Instagram @worthwild.co Thanks for being here, ya cuties.

In this episode I talk about a less-discussed form of grief – the kind that quietly accompanies personal growth and change. From the shedding of past identities to the unexpected grief of potential, I share my own experiences and reflections, including the emotional complexities of aging and evolving relationships. If you're feeling an ache for something, or someone you've outgrown, could it be that what you're really feeling is grief? Rather than bypassing the discomfort, this episode encourages gentle awareness, emotional honesty, and honoring grief as a companion on the path to self-trust and wholeness. In this episode you will learn: Why grief isn't just about death and what else it can stem from What makes personal growth so emotionally complex How aging can bring unexpected grief Why changes in relationships can trigger grief, even healthy or necessary shifts What makes the grief of potential so painful How avoiding grief can hinder growth What healthy grieving can look like and why honoring grief matters - Is there a part of your life you're grieving right now that deserves to be acknowledged? I'd love to continue the conversation. Feel free to get in touch via email at [email protected] or slide into my DM's on Instagram.
