For Anyone Second-Guessing Themselves Right Now

If you’ve been feeling uncertain lately—about your job, your direction, or your place in the workplace—this issue is for you.

Sometimes, we just need someone to remind us of what we already know but have started to forget:

You still belong. You still have value.

And no market, title, or moment of doubt can take that away.

Read this slowly. Let it land.

If you’re doubting yourself right now, you’re not alone.

The job market is unpredictable.

Job security feels shaky.

And belonging? Some days it feels like it’s slipping away.

But here’s the truth:

Your worth isn’t up for debate.

Not by the market.

Not by a job title.

Not by a system that doesn’t always see your full value.

Now more than ever, it’s time to believe in you.

In your skills.

In your voice.

In your ability to adapt, lead, and rise—again and again.

Even when you feel unseen, your value hasn’t disappeared.

Even when you’re passed over, you are not falling behind.

You still belong.

You still matter.

And you still have what it takes.

So breathe.

Reset.

And walk forward with confidence.

Because every ounce of you is powerful—

and regardless of what you see in the headlines, this season won’t define you. You will.
