Episode 187: Worthiness Wounds Part 2: Protect and Provide
To protect and provide is a beautiful energy that can be used for so much good in our world, regardless of gender. However, in the presence of worthiness wounds, these values can quickly turn toxic, and I show you how in this episode.
Taking on the role of a protector and provider only becomes truly doable when you heal your worthiness wounds. If you resonate with these values but find yourself needing to prove yourself and your masculinity to finally feel worthy, you might be embodying these roles in a toxic way, and it’s hurting you and your loved ones.
Join me this week to hear what worthiness wounds are, why they hurt, and how they might be showing up for you if you identify with the value of protecting and providing. You’ll learn how this role turns toxic if you haven’t healed your worthiness wounds, why this conditioning is often enmeshed with toxic masculinity, and examples of how you can use this value of protecting and providing in healthy and honorable ways instead.
