Self-worth isn’t something we earn, it’s something we uncover when we stop abandoning ourselves. My guest this episode, Shilpa Shah, is an entrepreneur, a creative, a mother, and a living example of this mindset shift. Shilpa isn’t here as an expert or strategist, she’s here because she’s lived the work. She has done the brave and deeply human process of reclaiming her self-worth and stepping into her voice through boundary work. 

This episode, Shilpa and I discuss the specific challenges of beginning boundary work as an Indian woman raised in a traditional South Asian household, what it looks like to live without boundaries and how often that keeps us stuck in the one-down position, the subtle power dynamics that play out when we’re disconnected from our inherent value, and what it looks like to reclaim your peace by honoring your energy and your needs.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in the one-down position or caught in a cycle of over-giving and under-receiving, this is your invitation to begin again. To start small, to make a different choice than you did yesterday, and to always remember that your worth is not up for negotiation.
