106. Calling all People Pleasers and Women Who Feel Guilty for Putting Themselves First

As women, we are rewarded when we put other people first. We have this complex that we’ve learned from society that we should take pride in doing as much as possible for everyone else and we over-give to the point that it becomes almost a sacrificial martyr complex of “How much can I do?”. It’s exhausting. So at the end of the day, we feel passive-aggressive and upset. Maybe it's at our partners. Maybe it's at our colleagues. Maybe it's with friends. Because we give and give and give and then we lose ourselves.

Maybe you feel guilty when you put yourself first. Maybe you feel if you slow down and chill for a second then everything is going to fall apart. That’s the shadow we can fall into. When we can't show up for ourselves, when we struggle to ask for help, when we feel like we have to do it all on our own. That is a wounded place to be.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the importance of prioritizing ourselves and playing the creator in your life.

Right now, we're experiencing such a huge collective awakening of healing, spirituality and personal growth in actually understanding who we are. We’re beginning to focus on what matters and part of that is accepting that we get to prioritize ourselves for a change. We can come back to ourselves and feel at peace and safe within our bodies. It doesn’t need to be a sacrifice.

Our life is our responsibility. When we take ownership, we get to create our dream life. Whether it be the decision to invest in ourselves, change our relationship with food, transform our business, our magic is our own. And we own it.
