Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of Integrated You Radio! In this solo episode, Dr. Nicole delves into the thought-provoking topic of prioritizing yourself over constantly putting your children's needs first. Drawing inspiration from the in-flight safety reminder to put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others, Dr. explores the idea of self-care and the implications of continuous sacrifice. She reflects on how societal programming often encourages parents to prioritize everyone else, leading to burnout, anxiety, and lost opportunities for genuine family connections.

Dr. Nicole discusses the phases of life, from early parenting to adulthood, and how the habit of always putting others before oneself can impact mental well-being, family dynamics, and even the health of the next generation. Tune in to gain insights into creating a healthier balance between caring for yourself and caring for your loved ones.
