I dedicate this book to my unparalleled mother, Toby Litt. I feel you with me every step of the way.
Your passing taught me to honor life. To show up fully, to live with intention, and go boldly toward my dreams while simultaneously teaching me to not take it too seriously, to be present and grateful because its only life after all.
I love you, Mom.
I feel deeply fortunate to have the abundance of love and support that I do. And it is with endless gratitude that I honor and acknowledge
My wonderful dad, Jeff, who raised me to always remember who I am, for consistently being there for me, and for giving me such a kick-ass last name.
My incredible husband, David, whose support, patience, and love throughout this process have been everything an author could ask for.
My amazing teenage daughtersTaylor, Maddy, and Zoewho were always there with words of excitement and encouragement while being cool with Mom tucked away writing in her office for hours.
My magnificent sisters, Barri and Jamie, who are the other parts of my soul and outwardly share their belief in me to anyone who will listen.
My awesome family and friends, who are incredibly supportive and excited about my work in the world.
My phenomenal community of worthy humans who show up and hang out with me day in and day out, learning, loving, and growing.
My talented book coach, Marie, whose guidance and support enabled me to bring this to life.
My sweet dog, Sunny, who laid at the bottom of my feet for hours while I was writing.
And to all the pioneers of personal growth that have come before me, who are my mentors and teachers. Whose work has paved the way for my work in the world. Tony Robbins, Marisa Peer, Byron Katie, Michael Neill, Jim Rohn, Jack Canfield, Bren Brown, and Dr. Joe Dispenzto name a few. Endless admiration and appreciation to you all.
Hello, beautiful soul,
Youre here and I couldnt be more excited!
I wrote this book for YOU. I wrote this book because I need you to know that you are enough, that you are worthy. And not because of anything you do, but simply because it is inherently who you are.
Your worthiness is your birthright. You are enough, you always have been, and you always will be.
It doesnt matter what your background is, where you grew up, what you had or didnt have, what traumas happened to you, who your parents were or werent, if they were married or divorced, if you had too much love or not enough. You are enough. Period. End of story.
When you accept this truth, when you believe in this truth, everything changes. You are no longer seeking validation outside of yourself; you are no longer tolerating attitudes and behaviors that are all motivated by trying to feel like youre enough. You can be you, stand in your power, unconditionally love and accept yourself, and live a life based in choice because nothing is an indication of your enough-ness.
As a worthy human, you wake up and start your day automatically enough and deserving. You opened your eyes today, boom! Youre enough.
The term worthy human hit me like a lightning bolt.
As I grew more and more aware of my own tendencies and behaviors and witnessed and observed the behavior and ways of being of so many around mefriends, family, clientshumansa theme and pattern emerged.
My observation ultimately was deduced to this: there is the camp of Its fine, Im fine, I dont need to say anything, stay small, shrink down, dont rock the boat.
Or the pendulum swings all the way to the extreme opposite camp of being condescending, demanding, aggressive, defensive, and using an overassertion of power.
Both camps are driven by the same theme, in different directionsnot feeling enough or trying to assert yourself into being enough. Neither option is necessary, fair for you, or healthy to your well-being and life.
Ah, but there is a space. There is a space in between, and I am claiming it as a WORTHY HUMAN.
Because in truth, that is what we all are. And when you know this, accept this, believe this, everything changes because you change.
You start to view yourself, your life, the world through the lens of I AM ENOUGH. It is from this place that everything you ever hoped, dreamed, wished, wanted, and prayed for can be reality.
A worthy human embraces imperfection, unconditionally loves and accepts themselves, possesses ease and confidence, knows what they are and are not available for, uses their voice, says no easily, says yes happily, puts their relationship with themselves on the top of the list, is a master of their mind, sprinkles playfulness and levity, understands they are responsible for everything that is happening in their life, and knows that none of whats happening is a reflection of their enough-ness, so they own their shit. They welcome being the problem and the solution because thats the only way to get where they want to go.
There is never a need to shrink or to puff your chest because youre already worthy. So you can simply express what needs to be expressed and ask for what you want, for what you need.
