Working Hard to Prove Your Worth

Working Hard to Prove Your Worth

Author: Debra Graugnard April 6, 2025 Duration: 51:23

When something comes up 3 times in the same week, I take that as a sign to address it with the group. The issue is feeling undervalued at work and working so hard to prove yourself that you are near collapse, and you are still overlooked.

 

You are not getting support you need because you feel like asking for help would be admitting you are not capable, even though you are often doing the work of three people. Or if you are in your own business, you might be giving too much away and not getting the sales you need to sustain the business. So you work harder and give away more!

 

I thought of this as historically a women's issue, because when I was in corporate, I was one of 3-6 women in a department of 80, and it was very much a good ol' boys club where women were clearly not welcomed. However, one of the people I spoke with this week was a man.

 

When you have been classified as not fitting the mold, or maybe it’s the budget, no amount of effort is going to prove them wrong because there is no lack of proof, it's a misperception of truth.

 

Well, here's another truth. You are not defined by the rules of their club. Your value cannot be diminished by their non-acceptance. No one can take away your inner power and strength.

 

Listen to this episode to bring healing to this wound of being undervalued and rejected after trying so hard to prove yourself. Connect with the inner truth and allow it to emerge.

Debra Graugnard brings a unique perspective to Self-Care For The Soul, weaving together her formal theological training with a quarter-century of immersion in Sufi teachings and her practical work as an energy healing practitioner. This isn't about quick fixes or surface-level routines; it's an invitation to explore self-care as a sacred, integrated practice. Each conversation in this podcast delves into the nuanced connection between our physical presence, emotional landscape, and spiritual essence, offering tangible tools for that exploration. You'll hear discussions that gently challenge the notion that our daily needs are separate from our deeper purpose, proposing instead that honoring one is a direct path to nurturing the other. Debra's approach is both grounded and expansive, focusing on how we can move from intellectual understanding to an embodied, intimate knowing of ourselves. The aim is to cultivate a life that doesn't just look good on the outside but resonates with authentic health and a sustained sense of joy from within. Tuning in means encountering a space where practical spirituality meets daily life, encouraging a gradual awakening to the truth that your essence is always present, waiting to be engaged with compassion and intention. This is for anyone feeling the pull to move beyond conventional self-help into a more holistic and soulful dialogue with their own existence.
