Have you ever held back your work because you weren’t sure it was good enough—or feared no one wanted to hear what you had to say? In this third installment of the creative self-worth series, you’ll discover why you don’t need to be polished or “ready” to make a difference. Through personal stories and reflection, host Jodi Rose Gonzales invites you to see your own creative process as a form of service and subtle leadership. If you’ve ever questioned the value of your work or feared being seen, this conversation offers a grounded path forward—and a journal prompt to help you take one small step toward being heard.

Key Takeaways:

• Your voice doesn’t need polish—just honesty. The willingness to share authentically is more impactful than perfection.
• Creative courage creates ripples. Your process can quietly encourage others, often without you even knowing.
• You don’t have to be healed to help. Your ongoing journey is part of the medicine you carry.
