I'll Deal With It Later... When Self-Neglect Becomes a Habit

Sometimes burnout doesn't look like falling apart.Sometimes it looks like saying, "I'll deal with it later."That's exactly what I did.For over a month I ignored a cough. I convinced myself I didn't have time to go to the doctor because there were bills to pay, work to do, and a daughter to prepare for college.Then one nurse practitioner asked me a simple question.When she found out I already had the medicine I needed at home, she looked at me and said:"It doesn't do any good staying in the bottle."That sentence had nothing to do with ear drops.It had everything to do with me.In this impromptu episode, I talk about survival mode, self-neglect, and why knowing you should take care of yourself isn't the same as actually doing it.If you've been putting everyone else first...This one's for you.📲 Connect with Me🔗 Follow me on all platforms: @DaWholeDamnShow🎧 Follow It’s About DAMN Time: @ItsAboutDamnTimePod💥 Cop the DAMN University merch right here → Shop now
