Making Myself Proud by Saying No

In today’s episode, I share how a stomach ache led me back to an old wound — feeling shame, guilt, and responsibility for the well-being of others. I talk about how challenging it can be for me to say no my loved ones and say yes to myself.

I also share parts of my personal regulation list — a list I first created when I was struggling with depression and emotional burnout. It became a way for me to support my nervous system during times of shutdown, and I still use it to this very day. Some of the tools on the list might surprise you...

This week also brought a new realization: learning to give myself what I so often wish others would give me. It’s a lesson I’ve now added to the list — something my future self can return to whenever she’s going through a emotionally stressful time and needs support 💞
