Why Is It So Hard to Put Yourself First?

from Real Talk With TAS & OnJerya

Why do we keep saying yes, showing up, and carrying responsibilities for everyone else when we are already running on empty? Dr. TAS and OnJerya unpack why putting yourself first can feel so difficult, especially when you have spent years being the dependable one. Their conversation moves through boundaries, changing your mind, letting people go, worrying about how others see you, and recognizing when caring for everyone else is leaving too little room for you. Did this conversation remind you of something you've experienced? Maybe you agreed with one of us, disagreed with both of us, or saw something in a different way. We'd love for you to keep listening!
