Hey Sis, I See You...
From the outside, it looks like you have it all together.
You’re the one people depend on, the responsible one.
But inside, you’re constantly questioning yourself,
Am I good enough?
When you grew up with emotionally immature parents, it’s hard not to feel this way.
Maybe as a child your thoughts, feelings, and needs were questioned or picked apart.
So instead of learning to trust yourself…you learned to question your worth.
And even now, that feeling of not being good enough might still be running the show.
I know this pattern well…because I lived it too.
I feel so seen when I read your posts. You really get what it's like to have a parent who can't show up for you the way you need them to. I blamed myself for so long. Your words helped me see that it was never me and for that I'm forever grateful. Keep doing what you're doing.
Hello! I'm Yanique
I’m a daughter of emotionally immature parents and a licensed psychotherapist.
I know what it’s like to feel like you’re not good enough.
And as a therapist, I’ve helped many women untangle that belief and reconnect with their inherent worth.
I believe that with a few meaningful shifts, you can learn to find love in yourself and accept that you’re enough, without trying to earn your worth.
Yanique thank you for putting in the time and sharing your work with us. I've read many books and had a ton of therapy that didn't get to the heart of things. I've gotten so much clarity from reading your work.

Our parents can really put us through it! Everybody is always telling me to move on and to let the past be the past. It's nice to hear for once that what I went through was real and not just me overreacting.
Imagine this for a minute...
- You trust yourself and you don’t keep second-guessing your decisions.
- You say what you feel and feel okay afterward.
- You let yourself have needs without feeling like a burden.
- You move through your days without that constant pressure to be perfect.
- You feel settled inside and not at war with yourself.
- You trust that you’re enough without needing to prove it.

The good news is, it’s not out of reach. Small, supported steps can help you get there.
Why This Matters To Me
In many ways, I grew up feeling like I had to handle things on my own.
When I was hurt or afraid, there wasn’t always someone there to notice, comfort me, or help me make sense of what I was feeling.
I didn’t question it.
Instead, I made it mean something about me.
That I wasn’t worth showing up for.
I wasn’t good enough.
And I carried that belief with me for years.
Until something in me began to question it.
What if I was never the problem?
When you grow up not feeling safe, seen, or understood, you don’t question the people who’re responsible for meeting your needs.
You question yourself.
But when you can see that having needs didn’t make you a problem, the I’m not good enough story starts to crack.
You realize that the story was never rooted in truth.
You were just a child trying to make sense of not having your needs met.
If any of this feels familiar, I want you to know, there’s nothing wrong with you.
You don’t have to keep holding onto the idea that you’re not good enough.
That’s why I created I Am Naturally Worthy.
A space for daughters of emotionally immature parents who’ve spent years believing they’re not good enough.
Here, you can start to make sense of why you’ve felt this way for so long and reconnect with the truth that was always there.
You were never the problem.
You were always enough.
"Wow! I was really struggling for a long time and never believed things would get better. Sometimes you think you're the only one going through things and it can feel so lonely. I'm glad I found your site because I don't feel so alone anymore.
