📝 Episode Summary: In this heartfelt episode, Cheri unpacks the sneaky habit of putting everyone else first—even strangers—and what it really means when we constantly flake on ourselves. She calls it Southern Hospitality Syndrome: a charming but toxic blend of kindness and chronic self-abandonment. With her signature warmth and wit, Cheri shares personal stories, including a hilarious tale of 20 years of polite miscommunication, and offers real-world tips on how to finally treat yourself like someone you actually care about. Stick around for a guided chakra meditation focused on the heart, throat, and third eye to help you align with self-love and truth. 🔑 Three Key Learning Points:Self-Abandonment Looks Polite: Being ultra-kind to others while bailing on your own needs is still abandonment—just with a smile.Calendar It Like You Mean It: Treat personal commitments like appointments with someone important (spoiler: that’s you).Confidence = Equality: True confidence isn’t about being better—it's knowing you're just as valuable as anyone else at the table.📣 Mentions & Shout-Outs:🎵 “Bless Your Heart” by Megan Moroney – for a little Southern passive-aggression education🏃♀️ Peachtree Road Race – Cheri’s one and only running moment (cheers included)🧘♀️ Vista Yoga in Atlanta – Cheri teaches there on Thursday nights🌐 Website: ilovetherapy.com – retreats, classes & all the good stuff📧 Join the email list for stress-free updates & surprises🙌 Producer Credit: Big thanks to Owen Flake, the silent hero behind the scenes!
