You've been mispronouncing your own name.

Not literally. But hear me out.

Most of us learned our worth the way we learned to spell - from someone else, early, and without much say in the matter. A parent's approval. A grade. A comment that stuck longer than it had any right to. Somewhere along the way, the definition of you got written by people who were still figuring themselves out.

And now you carry it around like it's official.

Here's the thing about self-worth that nobody puts on a motivational poster: it's not something you find. It's not buried under enough accomplishments or unlocked after enough therapy sessions. It's something you decide - quietly, almost boringly - on an otherwise unremarkable Friday morning.

You decide: "I am worthy."

Not "I'm worthy once I fix this thing about myself." Not "I'm worthy if this works out." Just: "I am worthy". Full stop.

That's it. That's the whole practice.

The proof doesn't come first. The decision does. Then you act from that place - not perfectly, not all day, but more than you did yesterday.

So this weekend, when the old voices get loud: notice them, don't argue with them, and gently, firmly, keep going anyway.

You already know how to pronounce your name.

You always did.

Have a good weekend. You've earned it — though you never needed to.

With Love,

Randi 🩷

Tired of chasing people who won't choose you back?

Hi Reader , I’ve been wanting to create something more than a newsletter - a real space for connection, support, and honest conversation. So I started a free Facebook community: Worthy & Whole: A Community for Women Rebuilding Self-Worth This is for women who are done chasing people who can’t meet them halfway, ready to rebuild their sense of self-worth, or quietly wondering if it’s time to leave a relationship that isn’t serving them. Inside, I’ll be sharing weekly reflections, tools, and...

I found a photo that stopped me cold

Randi Corrigan middle school yearbook photo. The girl this article is about I had a rough weekend. The kind where getting out of bed feels impossible, your phone becomes a lifeline, and the harshest voice in your head won't stop screaming at you to get up and do something. I'm a therapist. I know better. And I still couldn't stop it. So I did what I do? I got curious. I started asking that voice where she came from. She took me all the way back to a condo I grew up in. My mother's addiction....

The thing you've been waiting for is in here!! Open this before you forget again 👀

Hi Reader Wow. I am so excited by how many of you have reached out already, hearing how much you’re enjoying the Self-Worth Reset Workbook genuinely warms my heart. Knowing I’ve reached so many lovely women, all learning to love themselves a little harder, is exactly what this was supposed to be about. Isn’t that what life should be all about? Here’s the thing though - it looks like some of you never actually got your hands on the workbook itself. It might’ve gotten buried, lost in a...
