Allison Maslan spent years overworking to prove her value, only to burn out and feel useless. She learned that you don't need to prove yourself to anyone. Rest and happiness aren't luxuries you have to earn.

Chapters

I used to think that I had to work constantly just to improve my value. All that did was run me into the ground. Then I'm no good to anyone. And what I learned over the years is that you need to value you. You don't have to prove anything to anyone. And you deserve, you deserve to be happy. You deserve to take the time away. Stop trying to prove to anybody else that you're worthy because you're not. Absolutely chock full of super valuable.
