This week on the Overwhelmed and Over It podcast, I sat down with life design coach Gina who dropped this truth bomb:

"As women in our society, it's striving, striving, striving, helping meet the needs of others. And it's like, where do I fit in this picture?"

EPISODE: "Main Character Energy: Designing a Life You Actually Love"

In this conversation, we dive into:

• Why we're harder on ourselves than we are on others (and how to stop)
• The myth of "pouring from an empty cup" (it's actually about overflowing!)
• Finding your support network as a parent entrepreneur
• Giving yourself permission to rest without the guilt
• What to do when your to-do list AND ideas never stop

This episode hit me right in the heart because I see so many of us (myself included) struggling to put ourselves in the center of our own stories. We're always the supporting character in someone else's narrative - our kids, our clients, our partners.

But as Gina reminds us, "Everybody deserves to live a life they love."

Sometimes that means saying no to the drive-through dinner guilt. Sometimes it means taking a mental health day even when your business to-do list is screaming at you.
