Why You Can't Relax After Doing Something Good for Yourself

You did something good for yourself, a massage, an hour off, a class you have always wanted to take, and then the guilt showed up like you had done something wrong. In this solo episode, JoAnn names exactly what is happening (she calls it the guilt slide) and walks you through how to catch it and step off before it takes down your day or your relationships. In this episode, you'll learn: How to spot the "guilt slide," the moment a good thing you did for yourself turns into proof you did something wrong Why that guilt is a sign something is new for you, not a sign you are selfish or broken The one move that protects your closest relationships when the guilt hits, and why it is not asking "are you mad at me?" Three self-compassion steps to wait out the discomfort instead of projecting it onto everyone around you A simple way to redirect your brain so the feeling passes faster Resources mentioned in this episode: "This Isn't a Sketchbook, its an Art Class" drawing workbook Podcast Episode: Why the ADHD Parenting Advice Doesn't Work (the RSD episode) The Happy Mom Reset, JoAnn's free class New here?
