Working on your self-worth doesn't mean turning into a self-obsessed diva who refuses to share snacks or feelings. In fact, a lot of what we've been told about self-worth... is just plain wrong.
So let's clear a few things up—with a little truth and a lot of love.
💠Myth 1: "If I focus on my self-worth, I'll become narcissistic."
Truth: Nope. Narcissism and healthy self-worth are actually opposites.
Narcissism is rooted in insecurity and a need to prove worth through attention, control, or being seen as "special."
Self-worth is quiet, steady, and rooted in the belief that everyone has value—including you.
When you truly feel worthy, you don't need to be better than anyone. You just get to be you.

💠Myth 2: "Putting myself first is selfish."
Truth: Taking care of your needs is not selfish—it's self-responsible.
When you tend to yourself, set boundaries, and say no when needed, you're not hurting others. You're creating the conditions for real connection, not resentment-fueled people-pleasing.
Bonus: the more you take care of yourself, the more authentically you can show up for others.

💠Myth 3: "If I accept myself, I'll stop growing."
Truth: Self-acceptance isn't the end of growth—it's the beginning of healthy growth.
When we grow from a place of shame, we hustle to "fix" ourselves.
When we grow from a place of self-worth, we evolve because we want to, not because we think we have to.
Acceptance creates safety. Safety creates space for change.

💠Myth 4: "Self-worth is about confidence and being strong all the time."
Truth: Real self-worth makes space for everything—even doubt, fear, and softness.
It's not about feeling amazing 24/7 or pretending to have it all together.
It's about knowing that even when you're a mess, you're still worthy of love, care, and belonging.
Self-worth doesn't make you flawless—it makes you free.
