Why You Neglect Yourself (And How to Finally Stop)

What if the ways you’ve been neglecting yourself… aren’t actually your fault?In this solo episode, Anna opens up about a recent health scare that forced her to confront a lifelong pattern of self-neglect—and the surprising realization that it didn’t start with her.Through storytelling, reflection, and powerful questions, Anna explores how self-neglect is often inherited, rather chosen. Learned through observation, passed down through generations, and reinforced by unconscious beliefs like:“My needs can wait.”“I’ll deal with it later.”“Everyone else matters more than me.”This episode dives into: How self-neglect shows up in your body, relationships, finances, and love life  Why awareness—not discipline—is the first step to change  The generational patterns you may be carrying without realizing it  How to begin rewriting the narrative that’s quietly running your life If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, stuck in avoidance, or unsure why you’re not showing up fully in your life—this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.Because healing doesn’t start with perfection. It starts with awareness—and the willingness to choose differently.✨ Reflection Question: If you truly believed you were worthy of care… what would you do differently today?✨ Join Me On RetreatDuring The Medicine of Spring: May 29-31 in the Catskills, NYwww.annamcbride.com/spring-retreat✨ Schedule your Free Call with Anna💌 Join Anna's Newsletter🎬 Subscribe on YouTube✨Follow on Instagram
