Have you ever felt like you have to earn your worth—whether by over-functioning or staying stuck in struggle?In this week's Plenty episode, I sit down with psychotherapist, mentor, and author Christine Gutierrez to explore healing worthiness through sobriety, power, and pleasure as medicine. 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.What you'll learn:<ul><li>Worthiness first, money second: How rooting in inherent worth transforms your relationship with money and expands real abundance (without the hustle-and-prove loop)</li><li>Sobriety—many paths, same heartbeat: Christine shares a non-dogmatic approach to changing your relationship with alcohol and choosing self-tenderness over self-punishment</li><li>Masks that drain us: Recognizing people-pleasing, "good girl" conditioning, and hyper-independence—and how to gently retire these exhausting patterns</li><li>The "life-death-life" cycle: Why true thriving includes endings, mess, and rebirth—and how to meet transitions with both grit and honey</li><li>Pleasure as spiritual pathway: Rewriting inherited scripts that glorify suffering and renounce the body to reclaim joy as sacred</li><li>Receiving with dignity: Especially for women of color, claiming fair compensation as part of collective healing—not a betrayal of your values</li></ul>This conversation will leave you with permission to stop performing your worth and start living from it.About ChristineChristine 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. “We cannot be in our soul led place on a bed of lies, we just can’t.” –Christine Gutierrez🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff 🎤00:25 Guest Introduction: Christine Gutierrez02:20 Exploring Worthiness in Money Work05:08 Spirituality vs. Mundane Life09:37 Paths to Sobriety and Healing13:33 Masks of Over-Functioning Women19:02 Deserving More: Beyond Mediocrity26:45 Patterns of Worthiness and Struggle33:39 Undoing Lies of Unworthiness36:22 The Role of Compassion in Advocacy40:00 Relationship with Money and Worthiness44:11 Empowerment through Financial Growth45:34 The Game of WorthinessLinks and Resources:<a href="https://amzn.to/4685lfZ">I am Diosa</a><a href="https://www.terricole.com/">Terri Cole</a><a href="https://www.soundstrue.com/blogs/authors/clarissa-pinkola-estes?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=&utm_content=_&tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=15761298840&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20946870396&gbraid=0AAAAAD_iRlR2H_xvRyewo04BM4Mv5-Cqt&gclid=Cj0KCQjwh5vFBhCyARIsAHBx2wzAfoCFOQcRbx1Oh8jEQtJVS5F9LELjGdgtFA22nBopjTZOZJUpJWAaAjOxEALw_wcB">Clarissa Pinkola Estes</a><a href="http://www.instagram.com/nishamoodley">Nisha</a>Connect with Christine Gutierrez:<a href="http://www.instagram.com/cosmicchristine">Instagram</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QFYNbwT4FE">Youtube</a><a href="https://www.christineg.tv/iamworthy">I am Worthy</a>✨ Ready to create more on your wealth-building journey?Ready to create more ease on your wealth-building journey?
