Have you ever felt like something inside of you was broken because of what you’ve been through?

In Episode 106 of The Katrina Johnson Show, Katrina Johnson-Owens challenges one of the greatest lies childhood trauma can teach us—that our past determines our worth.

Through personal reflection, practical CBT-inspired coaching, and powerful mindset shifts, you’ll discover the difference between self-esteem and self-worth, learn how to identify beliefs that no longer serve you, and begin rebuilding your identity from a place of truth instead of pain.

If you’ve ever questioned your value, struggled with shame, or wondered if healing is truly possible, this episode is a reminder that your experiences may have shaped your story, but they do not define your worth.

Because healing doesn’t restore your worth…

Healing helps you recognize the worth that was there all along.

In this episode of The Katrina Johnson Show, we’re exploring the lies trauma can teach us about ourselves and how those beliefs often follow us into adulthood, shaping our confidence, relationships, boundaries, and self-worth.

Together, we’ll discuss common trauma-based beliefs such as:

• ​ “I’m not good enough”
• ​ “I have to earn love”
• ​ “My needs don’t matter”
• ​ “I can’t trust anyone”
• ​ “I’ll never change”

You’ll also learn practical CBT-based strategies to help you identify, challenge, and begin replacing unhealthy thought patterns with beliefs that support healing and growth.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or feeling stuck, this episode will remind you that what happened to you is not the same as who you are.

Your trauma may have influenced your story, but it does not get the final say in who you become.
