The Self-Worth Series: How to Silence Self-Doubt
Project Purpose Podcast
04/07/25 • 51 min
What if the only thing standing between you and the life you want... is the belief that you’re not enough?
In this powerful opening to The Self-Worth Series, we’re dismantling the lies self-doubt tells us—and replacing them with truth.
Our special guest, Dawn Petgrave Smith, a licensed clinical psychologist, joins us to explore:
🔹 Why self-doubt shows up for both men and women in different ways
🔹 How childhood, culture, and comparison fuel feelings of unworthiness
🔹 Tangible mindset shifts to silence your inner critic
🔹 How to rebuild confidence after years of self-doubt
🔹 And why your worth has never been up for debate
Whether you’ve been playing small, second-guessing your decisions, or waiting for permission to feel worthy—this conversation is your wake-up call.
💡 You are enough. Right now. As you are.
✅ Self-Worth Challenge: Reframe one negative belief about yourself into something empowering. Say it out loud. Write it down. Start there.

The Self-Worth Series: Your Worth is Not Measured by Productivity
Project Purpose Podcast
05/01/25 • 71 min
Who are you when you're not checking things off a to-do list?
In a world that glorifies hustle and burnout, we’re constantly taught that our value is tied to how much we do, achieve, or produce.
But your worth was never meant to be measured by output.
In this validating episode of The Fearless & Worthy Series, clinical psychologist Dawn Petgrave Smith, and fitness coach Sherine Petgrave joins us to unpack:
- Why we equate busyness with value—and how that mindset starts early
- How the hustle culture shaped the way we define success
- How to create space for rest, joy, and purpose without guilt
- How to identify the signs that someone is overworking to prove their value
If you’ve ever felt like you only matter when you’re achieving something, this episode is your permission slip to be enough, just as you are.
✅ Self-Worth Tip of the Week: Take one intentional break this week—with no guilt and no “catching up” later. You are not behind.

The Self-Worth Series: How to Set Boundaries Without Feeling Like the Bad Guy
Project Purpose Podcast
04/17/25 • 49 min
Why does saying “no” feel like you’re doing something wrong—even when you know it’s what’s best for you?
If you've ever said yes just to avoid disappointing someone—or felt guilty for setting boundaries—this episode is your reminder that self-worth starts with self-respect.
In this powerful conversation, psychologist Dawn Petgrave Smith returns to help us understand:
- Why do so many people struggle to say "no" without guilt?
- How does setting boundaries strengthen self-worth?
- What should someone do if people push back against their boundaries... and much more.
Whether you’re a parent, partner, employee, or leader—your peace matters too.
And guess what? Saying no doesn’t make you less kind. It makes you more honest.
✅ Self-Worth Challenge: This week, say no to one thing that drains your energy, and yes to something that nourishes you. No guilt. No apology.
