How to Realize Your Value Through Difficult Times: A Story of Self-Worth
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming—especially when we’re facing profound loss or change. Coach Daegan is here to share her raw, personal story of a time when she felt she had lost everything, including her children and, seemingly, her purpose. Lying on her kitchen floor, consumed by despair, she had a moment of clarity that would forever change her outlook: she realized that genuine worth comes not from external circumstances, but from recognizing the boundless power and beauty already within.
Recognizing Inner Power
Daegan highlights what she calls our “superpower quality”—a limitless reservoir of love and value that we often fail to see in ourselves. When life seems to strip away our roles, relationships, or security, it’s easy to lose sight of this intrinsic worth. But as Daegan discovered, even in our darkest moments, there’s a quiet strength inside us that can guide us back to hope and possibility.
Embracing the Present Moment
A key turning point in Daegan’s healing process was learning how to be truly present. Instead of reliving past wounds or anxiously chasing future goals, she learned to pause, breathe, and connect with the immediate now. This practice of mindfulness allowed her to step away from the constant rush of tasks and responsibilities, creating space to feel peace, clarity, and gratitude. Daegan describes inhaling the sweet smell of her baby’s hair, noting that this simple, sensory experience reminded her of life’s inherent joys—and her own capacity for love.
Finding Joy Amid Pain
Daegan discovered that happiness doesn’t vanish during tough times; rather, we may forget it’s there. By recognizing that we are inherently “made of love,” and that joy is always accessible within us, we begin to see life’s challenges from a more empowered perspective. Even when the world feels chaotic, tapping into that inner reservoir of love and light can bring about transformative healing.
This story serves as a powerful reminder that self-worth isn’t determined by external approval or outcome. Realizing your value often starts with slowing down, looking inward, and acknowledging that you have always been enough. As Daegan says, “We are powerful beyond measure.” By embracing the present moment, reconnecting with our inner strength, and choosing to see our own boundless potential, we unlock the freedom to live more fully and authentically—even in the midst of adversity.
