Guilt and self-sacrifice have quietly shaped so many women's lives — and midlife is often when it all comes to a head. In this episode, Jo explores why putting yourself first can feel so uncomfortable, where that guilt really comes from, and how to begin gently rewriting a story that may have been passed down for generations.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why guilt around self-prioritisation is so deeply rooted in generational conditioning

• How the guilt of midlife shifts shape. Even after the kids grow up

• The six pillars of wellness and what happens when we ignore our own needs for too long

• Small, practical steps to begin putting yourself back on the list

• Why choosing yourself isn't selfish. It's actually the most responsible thing you can do

If you've ever felt guilty for simply wanting something for yourself, this episode is a warm and honest reminder that you matter too. It's a gentle place to begin.
