🎙️TMIT 11: Worthiness 💫🧡

Plus, 🎉 It’s Day 30 of The Most Important Thing

Hi friends,

Today marks 30 days since we launched this little experiment. Thirty days of showing up, asking real questions, and trying to build something deeper at home. We’re so grateful you’ve come along with us.

Also, 30 days of content means 30 days of pretraining data! So to celebrate, we’ve made The Most Important Thing available as an AI chatbot. You can ask it anything, like how to adapt one of our experiments for your younger kids. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Our latest episode just dropped on Worthiness, where we’re continuing our journey through Brené Brown’s Wholehearted Parenting Manifesto.

📜“I want you to engage with the world from a place of worthiness.” 

🌱 Worthiness = A grounded feeling and core belief that says, “I deserve to take up space in this world.” 

This one hits close to home.

Among our three kids, one is especially easygoing, adaptable, the family peacemaker.

And yet—we’re learning that those same qualities can lead her to shrink.

To accommodate. To bend so others don’t break. 

So this week we’re asking:

How do we raise kids who believe they are worthy—without needing to be helpful, quiet, agreeable, or easy to love?

How do we help them trust that it’s safe to rock the boat and still belong?

🎙️ In the episode, we talk about:

  • How worthiness differs from loved and lovable 

  • Why adaptable ≠ low need

  • The invisible ways some people learn to disappear—and how we as a family can support them in claiming space

Each person in our family deserves to know they don’t have to earn their place. They belong—not because they’re easy or exceptional—but simply because they’re here.
