Episode 57 - 4 Reasons you need to to put your life vest on FIRST!

from The Pooch

What does it really mean to put your life vest on first as a woman and why does it feel so uncomfortable to do?In this episode, we go beyond the overused self-care clichés and unpack the deeper truth: women are conditioned to self-abandon in the name of harmony, care, and love. Long before motherhood, many women are taught to absorb emotional labour, smooth things over, and prioritise everyone else, often at the cost of their own intuition, autonomy, and identity.We explore:Why women are socialised to be the emotional shock absorbersHow chronic depletion disconnects women from their intuitionWhy exhaustion quietly limits choice and keeps women stuckWhat it actually means to put your life vest on first, without guiltThis conversation isn’t about bubble baths or productivity.It’s about self-trust, agency, and refusing to disappear.If you’ve ever felt burned out, lost, resentful, or unsure of what you even want anymore — this episode will put language to something you’ve felt but maybe couldn’t explain.✨ Putting your life vest on first isn’t selfish. It’s how women stay connected to themselves. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
