What if prioritizing yourself could be your greatest strength rather than a selfish act? Join me in this eye-opening episode where I unpacks a lifelong misconception that prioritizing self-care is selfish, especially for those overcoming codependency. I explore the roots of this struggle, often stemming from early teachings that placed others' needs above our own, leading to exhaustion and resentment. I offer a refreshing perspective on why taking care of ourselves is an essential part of survival and maintaining healthy relationships. Through personal stories and practical advice, discover how to reframe these old beliefs and start putting your own well-being first, guilt-free.
