99. Why it feels like shit to put yourself first (and what you can do about it)


Listen Later

Why does it feel like shit to put yourself first? This week I am talking all about putting yourself first, why it feels uncomfortable, and what you can do about it.

When we choose ourselves and set boundaries to protect ourselves, it doesn't always feel like sunshine and roses. In fact, it can feel uncertain and downright scary.

Here's the thing, as women in a patriarchal society, we've been socialized to put the needs of others before our own. So it's going to feel shitty when we choose to respond to our own needs first. And that's okay.

It's time to choose YOU, my gorgeous friend. I invite you on this journey.

Hot-takes From This Episode:

  • Why putting others first feels safe and putting yourself first feels unsafe.
  • Break up with the attachment of the thought, "Discomfort means I did something wrong."
  • Practice self-compassion: Yes, putting yourself first is going to be uncomfortable and it is okay.
  • I share a simple meditation to help you to learn to put your needs first.
