Episode 60 Reflections
Hello, beloved. Today marks the 60th episode of the Infinitely Precious Podcast, and I find myself both grateful and humbled. It’s hard to believe that we’ve journeyed through sixty reflections together. A part of me wants to treat that number like some kind of achievement—an indicator of success, or longevity, or accomplishment. But deep down, I know that’s not why this podcast began, nor why it continues.
I didn’t start this podcast for recognition or acclaim. I started it because I felt a message rising within me—one that felt important, necessary, healing. And week after week, the heart of that message has remained the same:
You are infinitely precious and unconditionally loved for the gift you already are.
This truth took me a lifetime to recognize, and I still lose sight of it sometimes. The world we live in is remarkably skilled at pulling us away from our inherent worth. We are constantly told that our value comes from what we produce, how we compare to others, how we look, how we perform, or how well we meet expectations that were set long before we understood we had a choice.
For many of us, valuing begins when we are very small—labeled good or bad, praised or criticized, defined by behaviors rather than by the sacredness woven into our being. It’s no wonder we grow up measuring ourselves by externals, often harshly, and usually unfairly.
When I began this journey of sharing weekly reflections, my hope was simple: that you would be reminded—again and again—of a deeper truth.
You were born with immeasurable worth. You entered this world as something sacred. You carry within you the image of the divine.
Our tradition tells us that from the very beginning, we were created in the likeness of God. And if the Divine is infinitely revealable, then each of us carries a unique spark of that revelation. There has never been—and will never be—another expression of the divine exactly like you.
You are a gift.
It still amazes me that this is the 60th message I’ve recorded. But more than amazement, what I feel most is gratitude—gratitude for the companionship of everyone who has listened, whether since episode one or just today. Gratitude that you’ve chosen to spend time with these reflections, to let them into your heart, to walk with me on this path of remembering who we truly are.
Because if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that we need these reminders. We need voices that speak into the noise of the world and say, “Your value is not conditional. Your worth is not earned. You are precious simply because you exist.”
We need to learn how to be kind to ourselves—especially because many of us are our own harshest critics. We beat ourselves up for small mistakes, imperfections, or moments of human weakness. I have done this too. But I’ve also learned, slowly and quietly, that there is no such thing as perfect. There is only wholeness, only the journey toward fullness—the journey of becoming who we already are.
So, beloved, remember this: you matter. Not because of what you’ve achieved. Not because of how you appear. Not because of how well you meet expectations.
You matter because you are here.
Because your heart is beating.
Because your breath is rising and falling.
Because the world has never known anyone exactly like you.
Be gentle with yourself. Offer kindness rather than criticism. Pay attention to the small, ordinary moments that shimmer with the presence of the sacred: the rustle of winter branches, the warmth of sunlight on your face, the rhythm of your own footsteps on a quiet path. These are the places where the divine often shows up—subtle, surprising, steady.
And as you learn to embrace your own preciousness, let it shape the way you see and treat others too. You cannot control how they respond, but you can choose to honor the divine spark within them, just as you honor it within yourself.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether this is your first episode or your sixtieth, you belong here. You are a gift to this world, and it is my deep joy to remind you of that truth.
So go gently into the day.
Live into your preciousness.
And remember—today, tomorrow, and every day—that you are infinitely precious and unconditionally loved for the gift you already are.
Blessings, dear one.
Until next time.
