EXPANDED Podcast by To Be Magnetic™ Ep. 288 - How To Build High Self-Worth: The Process with Tara Schuster
Worth Is Inherent, Not Earned
- Self-worth must be unconditional and grounded in existence, not achievements or attributes.
- Tara says you are worthy simply because you are here, and that becomes the foundation for growth.
From Neglect To Hustle
- Tara grew up in a neglectful home where pets and plants died and she learned she was worthless if not cared for.
- She hustled for status, got into an Ivy League, and became an early Comedy Central executive while hiding inner turmoil.
The Emergency That Started Her Healing
- At 25 Tara hit a breakdown moment, drunk-dialed her therapist and realized she might die if she didn't change.
- That desperation sparked a disciplined, project-like approach to saving her life and learning self-care.
Ever wonder how to build a true sense of self-worth? It starts with learning how to take care of yourself. And today's process episode with accomplished TV exec turned best-selling author on the power of inner healing, Tara Schuster, is about to give you the full download. Her story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of self-worth. From a neglected childhood to an empowered adulthood, Tara discusses her struggles with anxiety, self-neglect, and the quest for external validation, revealing how she pivoted towards a life of self-love and manifestation. Her insights into reparenting, overcoming fear, moving through a rock bottom and embracing one's innate worthiness offer invaluable lessons for anyone focused on personal growth and building self-worth. Join us as Tara inspires with her openness and profound understanding of what it means to truly embrace oneself.
