We dive into why so many of us confuse toxic capitalism with true abundance, how to let old identities \"die\" so new ones can be born, and the practical, compassionate steps to reclaim your inherent worth—no proving required.\n\nWhat you'll learn:\nWorthiness first, money second: How rooting in inherent worth transforms your relationship with money and expands real abundance (without the hustle-and-prove loop)\nSobriety—many paths, same heartbeat: Christine shares a non-dogmatic approach to changing your relationship with alcohol and choosing self-tenderness over self-punishment\nMasks that drain us: Recognizing people-pleasing, \"good girl\" conditioning, and hyper-independence—and how to gently retire these exhausting patterns\nThe \"life-death-life\" cycle: Why true thriving includes endings, mess, and rebirth—and how to meet transitions with both grit and honey\nPleasure as spiritual pathway: Rewriting inherited scripts that glorify suffering and renounce the body to reclaim joy as sacred\nReceiving with dignity: Especially for women of color, claiming fair compensation as part of collective healing—not a betrayal of your values\nThis conversation will leave you with permission to stop performing your worth and start living from it.\n\nAbout Christine\nChristine is the author of I Am Worthy and I Am Diosa, a psychotherapist and facilitator whose work blends trauma healing, spirituality, and practical tools for women’s empowerment. \n\n“We cannot be in our soul led place on a bed of lies, we just can’t.” –Christine Gutierrez\n🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff 🎤\n00:25 Guest Introduction: Christine Gutierrez\n02:20 Exploring Worthiness in Money Work\n05:08 Spirituality vs. Mundane Life\n09:37...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/o03JRta_QRrWYpVnGEniH9ofqOD9uyABk7kkXvT0B_E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ1MzMzLzE2OTUz/ODkwNzQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
