Hey Worth Warriors!
First up, I want to say thank you to all of you for continuing to read each week and for the new subscribers that join daily.
A Note on Change
This is the 20th edition of Worthy Wednesday, I can't believe I've actually written 20 of them. I’ve been so grateful for the incredibly positive feedback from all of you and the personal email replies I get in my inbox. But as I’ve been reflecting on the journey so far, I’ve realised I want to take things deeper.
Starting next week, I’ll be testing a new format for the next month, one that allows us to dive into each pillar (Worth, Wealth, and Wellbeing) more fully each week. So that means that each week we'll only focus on one of the pillars.
Here’s what you’ll find in every edition:
⚡ Spark Insight: A bold idea to ignite your thinking.
🌀 Shift Perspective: A fresh perspective to shift how you see the world.
🧘 Self-Reflection: Questions to spark introspection and clarity.
🚶♀️Step Forward: A practical takeaway, tool or resource you leverage immediately
🌱 Small Challenge: A small, intentional challenge to create lasting change
The goal? To create space for deeper reflection while still keeping it actionable, valuable, and inspiring.
If you’ve been here for a while, you know I thrive on change—it’s part of my Manifesting Generator energy (a type in Human Design, a system that blends ancient wisdom and modern insight to help you understand how you’re wired to thrive). Change fuels my creativity, and I’m embracing it fully.
I’d love your feedback as we explore this new direction together. Which format resonates with you more? What feels most meaningful? Let me know—I’m listening.
Ok back to regular programming for this week..
This weeks Worthy Wednesday is all about The Integration Edge
Work-life balance is a myth. And honestly? It was never the goal.
The old model assumes life should be compartmentalised - work over here, personal life over there, with a perfect 50/50 split. But real fulfilment doesn’t come from separation—it comes from integration.
The most successful leaders and entrepreneurs don’t balance different parts of their lives—they weave them together. They let their personal passions inform their professional work. They design businesses and careers that support their whole selves.
This week, we’re shifting from balancing to integrating—because your complexity isn’t a problem to solve. It’s your superpower.
To weaving life & work your way

🌟 WORTH | Owning All Parts of Who You Are
⚡ 5-Minute Action: Role Integration Map
Draw a circle and divide it into ‘pie slices’ for each of your roles (professional, personal, creative, etc.). In each slice, write:
- What this role needs from you
- What it gives to you
- One way it enhances your other roles Notice where these roles support rather than compete with each other.
🔄 Worth Reframe: Wholeness vs. Balance
Stop trying to balance your different parts - start integrating them. Your complexity isn't a problem to solve; it's a strength to leverage.

🔄 Worth Reframe: Integrated Abundance
Wealth isn't a separate category of life - it's an expression of your integrated gifts. The more you connect your different dimensions, the more value you create.

📚 Curated Resource: Jonathan Fields on Alignment & Meaningful Work
Author of SPARK, creator of Sparketype, and the founder of the Good Life Podcast talks about meaning, resistance, living with meaning in life and work all with a focus on human potential.
🎯 Micro-Challenge: The Integration Hour

WISDOM WHISPERER
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts"
Often misquoted as Aristotle's quote but actually comes from Gestalt theory
Why this whisper? This ancient wisdom reminds us that true power lies not in perfecting individual pieces, but in how they work together. Just as an orchestra creates magic not from individual instruments but from their harmony, your life creates its masterpiece when all parts play together.
Remember: Integration isn't about doing everything at once - it's about letting each part of you inform and enhance the others. Your complexity is your superpower.
