  • The Lie Behind "I Don't Deserve To Have Good Things"
    Oct 3 2025

    Have you ever had the thought 'I don't deserve good things'? This pervasive belief can be subtle, but it's not harmless. Today we are going to explore what's really going on with this belief.

    When we peel back the layers, we can see that the belief of "deservingness" is rooted in conditional worth messaging, internalized shame, and fear- which can all impact our food choices and self-care. It's time to challenge these beliefs and embrace the idea that you are inherently worthy of good things, without needing to earn them.

    You will learn more about how these patterns manifest in everyday life and receive guidance on transforming these thoughts to promote healing and self-compassion. We can't wait for you to listen!
