Own Your Worth

By Cosette Leary

If you are feeling like it is taking you too long to build your dreams, or that perhaps your life may not be made for your kind of dreams, I want to encourage you to keep pushing. You are so worth IT!!! At the age of 12, I was placed in the foster care system. I lived in orphanages, group homes, and foster homes. By age 14 I was pregnant with my first child. I have 4 children. I was placed on welfare and by age 27, my now 4 children and I survived off a monthly welfare check of $742 per month. I knew that I was brilliant, but the world saw me as a burden and an economically overrun bag lady. I went to my welfare-workers, housing-workersanyone that I could dig up in the public sector; however, they only had survivalbased programs. That wasn't enough for me!! I wanted to THRIVE!!! So, I began to write letters to CEO's of Fortune 500 companies, and I got a hit!! One CEO took me under her wing, instructed me on how to obtain Higher Education. Now I have gone on to serve as a staff member in both a Senatorial and Congressional offices, I am an Alumna of Brookings Institution Think Tank, I hold a degree in Public Administration (Summa Cum Laude), I am a Certified Professional Coach, an Author, and Motivational Transformational Speaker. I will be the first to say that there were some hard days; days that made me scream, cry, yell, and say bad four-letter words. People hurt my feelings, let me down, some even turned their backs on me…. I worked physically demanding, low-paying jobs at night, and got my branding on during the day. I often doubted myself and wondered when my big break would come. Contact Coco Here:

Here’s the thing-deep down inside I knew that I was the only “ME” that I had, and I would BET you know that you are the only “YOU” that you have too. I would be willing to say that you also have had your share of tough daysmaybe you are experiencing some right now.

I want to share some fantastic news with you:

YOU own your life and your story! YOU belong to YOU and your gifts and talents are so needed in our world! So, my dear friend, whenever you start to feel like you can’t hack it anymore, just remember all the amazing stuff you have already done, and the courage you held while doing it, and GOSH DANG IT!!

Hold your head up high and OWN YOUR WORTH!!!!!!
