I have a coaching session for you this week, and in these sessions, I aim to pick topics that are universal. Maggie is brave today and coming on the show with a topic many of us struggle with, resentment, self-abandonment, and the rocky road to self-compassion. 

I wanted to give this topic a voice because it’s incredibly common. To normalize what it looks like when women find themselves stuck in cycles of indecisiveness, resentment, guilt, and burnout. Maggie’s story is specific, but the themes? They’re everywhere.

In this session, we unpack what’s getting in the way for Maggie and work together to create small, actionable steps that bring her closer to showing up for herself in meaningful ways. Her willingness to do the work on herself offers something for all of us - especially if you’ve been taught to prioritize everyone but yourself.

You’ll hear us talk about: 

What it really looks like to explore resentments and why it matters (10:53)

How self-abandonment sneaks into everything from parenting to partnership (26:19)\

Why you don’t have to forgive someone in order to heal (28:07)

How indecisiveness connects to fear, self-trust, and early family dynamics (28:39)

What self-compassion can look like in real time (especially when it’s new) (36:41)
