E247: How to Stop Living for Others and Start Choosing Yourself


Listen Later

There comes a moment when living for everyone else quietly costs you your life. If you've been meeting expectations, carrying responsibilities that aren't yours, and calling it "just how things are," this conversation is for you.

When you spend years prioritizing others, you lose touch with what you want. You say yes when you mean no. You become needed instead of seen. And slowly, self-abandonment becomes your normal. My turning point didn't come from confidence or clarity. It came from willingness. The willingness to tell myself the truth and ask a question that changed everything: what do I actually want?

In this episode, I share how that question became my compass and led me to a proven framework for reinvention. Change doesn't require waiting for the perfect moment or becoming someone new. It requires permission, support, and a clear path forward. If you're ready to stop living for others and start choosing yourself, this is where it begins.

What we explore:

  • What self-abandonment looks like in high-functioning lives
  • Why success can still feel deeply misaligned
  • The hidden cost of people-pleasing and overfunctioning
  • How willingness creates momentum when clarity feels out of reach
  • Why you don't need to do this alone

If you're ready to stop waiting and start choosing yourself, join me for Reinvent Yourself, a four-day live virtual experience where we create real change together. Learn more and register at https://nancylevin.com/reinvent/
