...aking Better Care Of Everyone Else Than I Do Of Myself

In this episode of I Am Practically Done, Dr. Shena Dixon Mason, Esq. calls out the “strong one” who makes sure everyone else is good while quietly running on fumes. You show up for the late‑night calls, the last‑minute favors, the extra support, and the emotional labor for your team and loved ones—but when it comes to you, your needs are negotiable or “for later.” Professionally, this leads to resentment, burnout, and a foggy mind trying to make high‑stakes decisions with low battery. Personally, it creates a version of you who is present but not truly available. Financially, it shows up as investing heavily in others’ development and comfort while starving your own capacity, rest, and support. This episode reframes self‑care as maintenance for a high‑performance human, not a spa day, and offers one tiny weekly non‑negotiable, one audit question, and three reflections to help you stop treating yourself like the least important person in the empire you’re building.
