89: The Hidden Cost of Putting Others First

Are you depleted at the end of each day?

Do you feel like you give your everything to everyone—your family, your job, your friends—and you’re running on empty? 😩

I know it starts with good intentions, because I've lived this too.

You want to be helpful. Supportive. Reliable.

But over time, that constant giving starts to drain you.

And before you know it, a quiet resentment sneaks in…

🔹 Why does no one seem to notice how much you do?

🔹 Why are you the one always saying “yes” when you really want to say “no”?

🔹 Why do you feel guilty for even thinking about putting yourself first?

Here’s the hard truth:

When you don’t make yourself a priority, it doesn’t just hurt you—it affects everyone around you. Your energy, your body, and your relationships… they all take a hit. 😕

On this episode, I’m breaking down:

✨ The silent build-up inside you—and how to spot it before it poisons your relationships

✨ The surprising cost to others (even if you think you’re hiding it)

✨ The effect on you and how a shift in thinking can change it all

After you listen, hit reply and tell me: What’s one thing you’re going to do for yourself today? I’d love to hear! 💜

Enjoy the episode,

Debbie
