Episode 226: How To Claim Your Worth, Get Paid What You Deserve, And Finally Feel Like Enough, with Leisse Wilcox

A lot of us are fighting the feeling that no matter how much we accomplish, how hard we work, and how much money we make, we’ll never be enough. These limiting beliefs and patterns can keep us playing small and downplay our worth at work. That trickles into everything, from our relationships to how much income we make.



You cannot over-perform your way to feeling enough… and if that just hit you like a bus, this episode is required listening. 

A lot of us are fighting the feeling that no matter how much we accomplish, how hard we work, and how much money we make, we’ll never be enough. These limiting beliefs and patterns can keep us playing small and downplay our worth at work. That trickles into everything, from our relationships to how much income we make. 

So we’re welcoming back to the show Leisse Wilcox, a performance and emotional intelligence coach who helps people align their net-worth with their self-worth. Leisse was on the podcast all the way back in 2020, in episode 21, to talk about mindset and resilience. And I’m thrilled to share our conversation today as we tackle worthiness, the wage gap, our money stories, and uncoupling our value from what we do for work.

Leisse is a keynote speaker, leadership consultant, performance coach, emotional intelligence expert and two-times best-selling author. Known as “the Marie Kondo of your Unconscious”, She helps clients and businesses turns self-sabotage into success in each of life's cornerstone areas, combining strategic consulting and therapeutic coaching tools. 

Tune in as we chat about: 

  • Breaking out of the narratives that keep us stuck in doing too much and not feeling like enough

  • What does “enough” feel like?

  • The 4 ‘P’s of self-sabotage 

  • What we’re getting wrong about impostor syndrome 

  • How “proving our worth” leads to burnout

  • Financial anxiety and how our self-worth impacts our income
