Episode notes
What happens when your worth is measured by silence, obedience, or survival? In this episode of Xero Meaning, we unpack the etymology of the word “worth” and explore the ways it’s been distorted by trauma, toxic families, and the lie that you have to earn your right to exist.
Host Xero shares deeply personal stories of emotional neglect, survival guilt, and the quiet reclamation of worth through healing relationships, therapy breakthroughs, and creative expression.
We don’t just “find” worth—we rebuild it. Sometimes painfully. Sometimes beautifully. Always bravely.
