Convenience Fees, High Standards & Choosing Yourself

from SPA HIVE · host Julie Pankey

What are you ready to stop feeling guilty about? In this episode of the SpaHive Podcast, Julie Pankey and MaryAnn get honest about guilt, work life balance, leadership, boundaries, self care and the pressure to do everything the “right” way. Recording separately and answering the same three questions, they share the things they officially refuse to feel guilty about anymore, from paying for convenience and celebrating fall early to asking questions at work, setting high expectations, being late and learning to choose yourself. They also dig into people pleasing, perfectionism, burnout and the difference between being needed and being loved. Julie shares why having high standards doesn't mean expecting perfection, while MaryAnn talks about letting go of the pressure to always have the answer. If you've ever felt guilty for saying no, setting boundaries, asking for help, making life easier, changing your mind or putting yourself first, this conversation is for you. Because maybe the goal isn't to do everything better. Maybe it's to finally stop apologizing for the things that never required an apology in the first place.
