"Strategic Selfishness vs. Constant Sacrifice: The Debate That's Keeping You Invisible"

Are you caught in the impossible choice between being a "good mom" and honoring yourself? This episode puts an end to that exhausting debate once and for all.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why 93% of mothers feel burned out (and it's not what you think)
• The hidden cost of constant self-sacrifice on your marriage and kids
• What Michelle Obama knows about motherhood that most moms miss
• The "garden analogy" that will completely shift how you see your role
• 4 simple, 30-second practices to start your transformation today

If you're the mom who: ✓ Manages 20+ family passwords and everyone's schedules ✓ Feels proud of "doing it all" but cries in the shower ✓ Puts everyone else first yet feels invisible in your own life ✓ Wonders if taking time for yourself makes you selfish

...then this episode is your wake-up call.

The truth? Neither extreme sacrifice nor pure selfishness creates thriving families. What does work is Strategic Selfishness - being intentional about when to give and when to receive so you can love from abundance, not depletion.

Stop teaching your children that love requires self-erasure. Start showing them what a fulfilled, whole woman looks like.
