What if the most powerful New Year reset isn’t about doing more—but about finally letting yourself matter again?

In this short solo episode, Penny shares a surprising insight from a recent workshop that revealed just how many women are quietly carrying too much—while putting their own joy on hold.

If you’re the strong one, the caregiver, the helper, or the woman everyone depends on, this conversation is a gentle reminder that service doesn’t require self-sacrifice—and that joy isn’t a luxury.

This episode explores:

• Why so many women slip into survival mode without realizing it
• The difference between being selfless and being depleted
• How joy actually expands your capacity to serve
• Why support doesn’t have to feel heavy or serious

Journal Prompts Mentioned in the Episode

Take a few quiet moments with these questions:

• On a scale of 1–10, how important would it be for you to feel joy again?
• What would feeling more joy change for you right now?
• When was the last time you felt truly lit up—not productive or needed, just joyful?
• What were you doing, who were you with, and how did your body feel?
• What’s one small way you could invite a spark of that feeling back into your life this month?

As we step into a new year, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting, stop carrying it all alone, and remember—gently—that you matter too.
