Reparenting Yourself to Heal the Pattern

If you've ever felt like no matter how much you get done, you're still somehow behind—behind in your work, behind in your life, behind where you think you should be—this episode is for you. We're going to look at why that "never enough" feeling shows up, how patterns like over-responsibility early in life, conditional validation, and fear-based survival wire us into always pushing and never quite feeling caught up, and how simply understanding this can start to soften the cycle you've been stuck in.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why the feeling of being "behind" has so little to do with your actual productivity, and so much to do with how you learned to stay safe and valued
• The three core patterns that wire high-achievers into constant pressure, overdoing, and never feeling like enough
• How understanding where this cycle came from can start to loosen its grip, so you can relate to yourself with more compassion and less self-blame

✨ Remember: You are exactly where you need to be right now. ✨
