A deeply inspiring clarion call for Christian women's empowerment in the face of pressure to choose between seemingly mutually exclusive options.
You can be lovely and fierce, broken but also whole, satisfied but also ambitious. Leadership-lifestyle blogger and inspirational TV personality, Caitlyn Scaggs draws from her eclectic background and Christian principles to offer practical insight and encouragement to women striving to lead a fulfilling and complete life. She champions a new approach—how to find balance between seemingly opposing forces and live out what you were created to do.
With inspirational stories from her life and career alongside those of others' she’s met along the way, Scaggs provides fellow women insight on how to thrive no matter where your individual path takes you. With her unique and powerful guiding voice, she shows women can boldly embrace all their dichotomies, even when facing obstacles or inner conflict. She encourages readers to contemplate the choices they feel torn between and live in the space between. She then urges a different approach to navigating personal and professional lives, with the goal of finding balance, purpose, and satisfaction.
Each chapter includes motivational call outs, practical takeaways and actionable steps that invite readers to apply the insight shared to their own lives. Scaggs writes with the modern Christian woman in mind, but her engaging style and thoughtful insight will also appeal to women of all faiths and backgrounds.

“Caitlyn Scaggs reminds us that our struggle, pain, and mess live in the same place as our joy, victory, and abundance. She helps us sit in the tension and accept our wholeness, because we are worth it and wonderful. Her unique ability to feel deep and big and use that to inspire others is her superpower.”—Joy Reyes, Founder and Executive Manager of New Hope Girls
“Caitlyn shares her amazing story, not to hear the bang of her own drum but to help you hear the beat of your own! Through these reflections she will take you on a journey to help you remember how you got here, what a miracle the story is, and the hope of where it can lead us as worthy children of God.”—Becca Stevens, President and Founder of Thistle Farms, author of Practically Divine
“This book will bless you! We live in a culture where women are being lied to about who they are and who they belong to. Worth It and Wonderful is Caitlyn Scaggs’s way of saying ‘Enough is enough! It’s time to live boldly for Jesus and take back what the enemy has stolen!’”—Melissa Gaona, Anchor and Multimedia Journalist
