S2 | EP 37: Are You the Most Negotiable Person in Your Own Life?

You’re dependable. You’re the organizer, the problem solver, the person everyone knows they can count on.

And you may genuinely love being that person.

But somewhere along the way, did your own plans, needs, and wants become the easiest ones to move?

In this episode, we’re talking about the subtle ways women can build a life around showing up for everyone else while slowly becoming the most negotiable person on their own calendar. We’ll explore the resentment and guilt that can come with that, why waiting for life to “settle down” keeps us stuck, and what happens when we become so identified with our roles that we’re no longer sure what we want for ourselves.

In this episode, we talk about:Why resentment can be information rather than something to feel ashamed ofThe difference between loving your people and continually putting yourself lastHow waiting for permission keeps us from making room for ourselvesWhy “I’ll do it when life settles down” can become a moving finish lineWhat it means when you’re not even sure how you’d spend time that was completely yoursWhy prioritizing yourself doesn’t mean putting yourself above everyone elseHow to start becoming a little less negotiable through one small promise to yourselfPrevious Podcast Mentioned S2 EP 31: How to Let Resentment Be Your Friend

A few questions to sit with:Where have I become the most negotiable person in my own life?What have I been waiting for permission to do?What do I genuinely want more of right now?What is one promise I can make to myself this week — and keep?

If this episode feels a little too familiar...I created a free recorded workshop to help you move from awareness into action.

We’ll go deeper into how these patterns develop, how to reconnect with what you actually want, how to work through the guilt that can show up when you make room for yourself, and how to begin changing things through small, realistic steps that fit your REAL life.

Because you don’t need to stop showing up for the people you love.

You just need to include yourself in the list of people you’re willing to show up for.
