Why Fun Feels Hard for Women and How to Start Feeling Lighter

For the woman who feels responsible for everyone and everything: This episode will help so much!!! ⁣ ⁣ Do you ever look at other women relaxing on a porch, laughing with their family, or their posts on social media… and wonder why things feel so much heavier for you?⁣ ⁣ You're not alone! I felt this way too! Everything felt so heavy and serious. Many of us GenX women were raised to be good girls and taught incorrect messages about emotional intelligence - like we were responsible for other people's feelings. ⁣ Which is why we are great at reading the room, can be perfect little people-pleasers, and are really good at carrying the emotional load for everyone else. There's nothing wrong with you, warrior! We were just trained to be useful, responsible, and selfless above all else. If at the end of the day, we've done everything perfectly and have taken care of everyone else's needs and desires, well then, and only then, could we put our feet up.⁣ No wonder life can feel heavy!⁣ ⁣ Well, click play! Because I help you let go of that hypervigilance and over-responsibility so you can learn to relax and truly exhale.⁣ ⁣ You'll leave with two simple steps to start feeling lighter right now - I do them and promise you they work. I can't wait for you to listen in.  🎧 If you liked this episode, you'll like these two:  Three Gen X Blind Spots That Hurt Our Relationships and How to Heal Them on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/three-gen-x-blind-spots-that-hurt-our-relationships/id1434429161?i=1000770657456   Three Gen X Blind Spots That Hurt Our Relationships and How to Heal Them on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/2HK0olINBrKMTPwQRidXOO?si=0ru1yOhDRWe3VeOcJWjOlQ   How To Have More Fun on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-have-fun/id1434429161?i=1000770657618 How To Have More Fun on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Xk0zHuNjuGUHfoXuWJpHf?si=E4InOWBLQwuLLFjigUavBQ   👉🏽 Get your question answered on the show and become a PATREON here: https://smbwell.com/patreon 🌟Are you ready for a life coach?
