When was the last time you did something, anything, purely because you needed it?

Not because it made you a better mom. Not because you could justify it for someone else's benefit. Just because you are a human being with needs that matter.

If that question made you uncomfortable, this episode is for you.

There is a belief that has been quietly running the lives of so many women who love deeply and give completely. It doesn't feel like a belief. It feels like love. It feels like devotion. It got dressed up that way so long ago that most women can't even see it anymore.

But it is costing you your sense of self, your future, and your ability to be fully present in your own life.

In this episode:

• Why the guilt you feel when you try to take care of yourself is not your conscience, and what it actually is
• The specific thing that happens when keeping the peace becomes a slow disappearing act
• A moment I had with my family that cracked something open I had been keeping sealed for years
• The one question I couldn't push back down after that night and why it changes everything

This episode is for the woman who is invisible in the middle of her own family and doesn't yet have words for it.

She's about to.
