As women, we’ve often been conditioned to believe that our primary role is to make others happy—whether as mothers, partners, daughters, granddaughters, siblings, or co-workers.
We’re so focused on ensuring everyone else’s happiness that we often neglect our own.
We’ve been told that thinking about ourselves—our wants, our needs, our desires—is selfish. But why? Why is it wrong to prioritize our own happiness?
It’s not.
I teach my clients that their happiness is essential. Whatever path they choose in life, whatever decisions they make, their happiness should always be a priority.
I teach them that saying "no" is crucial for their well-being.
I show them that they can prioritize their happiness with empathy and kindness towards others.
I share this because I’ve learned it the hard way. After years of choosing others over myself, I experienced burnout, panic attacks, depression, and even developed an autoimmune condition.
My body forced me to listen, to put my own happiness first.
I don’t want anyone else to reach that point.
It’s never too late to start choosing YOU and your happiness.
