Rooted In Worth was created by Amy Starr, born from my own descent — from working at 13, carrying secrets too heavy for a child, hustling for “enough” without ever knowing what enough was. No paycheck, no achievement, no praise could touch the hollow ache inside. I had to turn toward my shadows, trace wounds back to their roots, and face the generations of silence, survival, and shame that lived in my lineage. Out of that descent came an alchemy: the remembering that worth is not earned, it is inherent.
This work exists to help us unravel the stories that told us we weren’t enough, to soften the grip of shame, and to interrupt the cycles of survival that keep us from rest, safety, and joy. The purpose of Rooted In Worth is to remember together: that we do not have to hustle for belonging, prove our value, or measure ourselves against endless markers of success. Worth is already in the marrow of who we are.
Rooted In Worth is both a journey and a sanctuary. Through mentorship, group containers, and shared descent, I offer a space to explore the shadows, meet the patterns that have shaped you, and gather back the gold hidden in your story. It is service to the self, the lineage, and the collective — a way of transforming what we’ve carried into wisdom, and what we’ve hidden into light.
This work isn’t always clean or comfortable — but it is the work that frees us.
The descent is never polished, but it is necessary.
It is raw, messy, and sacred — and it changes every cell in your body.
Gold is found in what’s uncomfortable, unresolved and necessary to face.
This path isn’t about control — it’s about raw truth.
Join me on the journey.
Amy
