What Rooted in Worth Is ?

Rooted in Worth is a 12-week, one-on-one coaching program designed to help women rebuild internal authority, self-trust, and decision-making confidence before focusing on money or external outcomes.

This program is not about fixing yourself or unpacking the past.
It is about learning how to stay on your own side, regulate internal pressure, and act from alignment rather than approval, fear, or self-override.

The work is structured, forward-focused, and grounded in adult responsibility.
Money is introduced later in the journey, once identity and self-trust are already established.

Who this is for?

This Program Is For You If
Not a Fit?
This work is likely a good fit if:
  • You are capable, thoughtful, and high-functioning, but second-guess yourself more than you want to admit
  • You notice approval-seeking, over-explaining, or self-abandonment patterns showing up in decisions
  • You want to build confidence that comes from action, not reassurance
  • You are ready to strengthen your internal authority before working on money, career, or life transitions
  • You want coaching that is clear, structured, and non-therapeutic

If you’re unsure, the Bold Strategy Call is the best place to explore fit.

This May Not Be the Right Fit If: 
  • You are looking for therapy or trauma processing
  • You want tactical financial planning or investment advice
  • You prefer purely self-paced learning without live coaching
  • You are not willing to examine patterns of self-override or avoidance

If you’re unsure, the Bold Strategy Call is the best place to explore fit.

Your 12-Week Journey

Phase 1: Internal Authority & Self-Trust

Identity before money

Weeks 1–6 Focus:

You establish internal authority, learn to interrupt self-override patterns, and build confidence through aligned action.

What this phase develops:

  • A clear internal posture for decision-making
  • Faster recovery from hesitation or self-doubt
  • The ability to stay on your own side under pressure
  • Behavioral confidence built through action, not reassurance

Phase 2: Money from Worth, Not Wounding

Aligned with Financial Foundations

Weeks 7–12 Focus:

Money is introduced as a leadership domain once self-trust is established.

What this phase develops:

  • A calm, values-anchored relationship with money
  • Reduced avoidance around numbers and financial decisions
  • Simple, repeatable money rhythms that reinforce self-trust
  • The ability to make financial decisions without tying worth to outcomes

What Changes Through This Work

After this program, you will:

  • Make decisions without abandoning yourself
  • Recognize approval-seeking and hesitation patterns in real time
  • Act from alignment, even when it feels uncomfortable
  • Experience money as information, not identity
  • Trust yourself more because your behavior has earned that trust
  • Have a clear internal standard for how you lead your life and finances

This program is not about becoming someone new.
It is about practicing who you already are, consistently.

Frequently asked questions

Is this therapy?

No. This is forward-focused coaching. We work with present-day patterns, decisions, and behaviors, not trauma processing or mental health treatment.

How is this different from Financial Foundations?

Rooted in Worth focuses on identity, self-trust, and internal authority before money. Financial Foundations focuses on practical money systems once self-trust is already established.

How much time should I expect to commit?

Live weeks include a 60-minute session. Self-paced weeks typically require 15–30 minutes of focused practice.

Do I need to be “good with money” already?

No. Money work comes later in the program and is approached from a calm, leadership-based framework.
