Worthiness and the Ask: Money, Comfort Zones, and Choosing What You Deserve
Liza and Wendy have a real-time, vulnerable conversation about worthiness—how it shows up in work, money, relationships, and decision-making. Wendy shares the pressure of being asked to name her value when a former company wants her back, while Liza reflects on worthiness in a new relationship after years of focusing on her child’s healing. Together, they unpack why asking for what you want can feel hard, how comfort zones keep us stuck, and why self-care and clarity matter when you’re making a big choice.
Worthiness isn’t just money—it’s value, time, and peace of mind.
Single moms often carry stress so others won’t have to. That pattern can block support and drain you.
Comfort zones feel safe, but they can keep you small. Growth often means choosing the unfamiliar on purpose.
“Squeaky wheel vs. silent fixer” is a real dynamic. Speaking up isn’t complaining—it's advocating for what you need.
Past money stories still run the present. Childhood experiences can shape how hard it feels to ask for compensation or security.
Self-care is a strategy during uncertainty. Walking, breathing, routines, and boundaries help you stay grounded while you decide.
