050 - Showing Up For Yourself

Talk to us, Shero! Talk to us!Your calendar is full, your people rely on you, and you keep it all moving. But if you’re honest, parts of you have gone quiet along the way. We talk about “showing up for yourself” as a real, practical skill, not a slogan, and why your reflection starts to blur when you live in constant output mode.We unpack how self-advocacy actually works in everyday moments: the pause where you realize you have options, the difference between reacting and choosing, and the quiet power of keeping your peace without abandoning your values. Deborah shares what it looks like to hold your tongue on purpose instead of from fear, how emotional intelligence helps you read consequences clearly, and why forgiveness turns self-blame into learning. We also get honest about women, motherhood, work identity, and the invisible “rules” we assign ourselves that nobody asked for, then wonder why we feel trapped.We go deep on language and mindset shifts that reduce resentment and burnout, including the limits of “I get to” when it feels untrue and how to reframe without lying to yourself. We also talk about energy, how fast it can change with a decision, and why practice matters when you want these self-care skills to show up in real time.If you’ve been carrying everyone else, this is your reminder to come home to you.
