Healing from a mother wound really starts with taking care of yourself first. Think about your relationship with yourself like a bank account, you’ve got to make more deposits than withdrawals. Every little thing counts: setting boundaries, saying no when you need to, or just resting when you’re tired.

Setting boundaries isn’t about being mean. It’s about protecting your energy. And it’s totally okay if some people get upset or if some relationships change. Your well-being has to come first.

Please stop abandoning yourself for others. Check in with what you really need, even if it’s something small. When you appreciate yourself and show some patience, you’re teaching your heart that it’s okay to be kind to you.

And remember, safety isn’t something you wait for from outside, it comes from within. Keep reminding yourself you’re okay, even when things feel uncertain. Life doesn’t have to happen on your schedule, and that’s perfectly fine.

Take care of you. You deserve it.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on where I really am in my healing journey and how much intention it takes to choose yourself every single day. We get into what it looks like to stop pouring into people who don’t pour back, how boundaries protect your peace, and why standing ten toes down for yourself is the real glow up. I also talk about the quiet wins, the confidence, the clarity, and the freedom that start showing up when you do the work. Tune in and let’s talk about choosing you first, trusting your voice, and making emotional deposits that actually pay off.
