You're not selfish
|
Feeling Worthy and prioritizing yourself does not make you selfish. In fact it expands your capacity to give, and to care for others. When you try to give what you don't have? It's stressful. But when you fill your own cup SO much that it's overflowing? That extra? That's what you give from. Giving of the overflow = Giving from your thankfullness It's such a shift from the paradigm that we've been raised to believe in: that there's not enough, you're only ever going to have so much and if you take something you want, you're taking it from someone else. That if you have joy and peace and rest, it means someone else must be struggling and furthermore, that struggle is probably your fault somehow. I think it's so beautiful to witness my clients embrace a sense of "i get to care for my physical self, my spiritual self, my mind and my emotions" and that way it's not a burden for them to come and help out when I want to, it's not a burden for them to take care of the people they love. That gift, of giving without resentment, is not something most of us have ever been able to receive. If people are giving from "not enough" and their giving their precious time and resources from a sense of sacrifice, it creates ties of entitlement and resentment that don't need to exist. And that's where we get that whole "i don't want to be a burden" feeling. When you are full, when you feel whole and grounded and present? Just your being there is a gift. My mission in life is to create more genuinely full, joyful women, So you can give, and create, and achieve - and do it all with a sense of expanding capacity instead of burnout.

I heard someone say that if we learned anything from 2024 & 2025 it's that the rules aren't real. I don't think that's quite right, because, as I'm sure you know, they're real enough when you’re trying to break them. Especially if you're not in a position of power. But I DO think it's pretty clear that: the rules are made up. They aren't universal laws. They aren't even, in most cases, "the way it's always been". At some point, the rules were just... made up. The rules were NOT made up to...
Imagine you're walking down the street one day and you see a door. Maybe at first it looks like just a painting of a door, on a brick wall or a gate. But as you get closer you're pretty convinced that if you reached out your hand, just to touch it, the knob would be smooth and cool to your touch. The knob would turn. And the door would open. You look to your right, and to your left and see no one else around. Do you reach out and touch the doorknob? The Door Is Opening The Rebel Alliance...
"It feels like I'm reprogramming my brain to prioritize myself and self care and abundance of radical self love." My client Anna said this in a recent session. (Would you like to be a client? You can sign up here! At this point in your life, I bet you've got a whole file of evidence about how things don't work for you, how they never work out for you, or for people like you. You've probably convinced yourself that, at this point, real big fancy success is no longer a posibility. I know I...
