Welcome back to the podcast that helps you navigate life’s biggest challenges with clarity and confidence. I am your host Holly Escalera and im so happy you are here. Over the past few episodes, we’ve explored how to break free from the pressure to explain yourself and release the grip of feeling like you’re not enough. In this episode, we’re diving into what life looks like for someone who struggles with self-love and, more importantly, how to begin the journey toward healing and self-acceptance. You are a person, juggling work, family, and the endless list of responsibilities that come with both. From the outside, it seems like you have it all together—always taking care of others, always saying "yes" when someone needs you. But deep down, you feel empty.Morning Routine: Running on EmptyYou wakes up early, not because your well-rested, but because you have to. You skip breakfast most mornings—too busy packing lunches, laying out the necessary items for dinner and making sure everyone else is taken care of. You don’t have time for coffee, let alone a moment to breathe before the chaos of the day begins.As you drop your kids off at school, you catches a glimpse of yourself in the rearview mirror. You barely recognizes the woman staring back. You used to take care of yourself- you used to have dreams, passions, even hobbies. But now, you feel like your just going through the motions.At Work: Seeking ValidationAt your job, you are the go-to person. You stay late, picks up extra tasks, and rarely say "no." Deep down, you crave recognition, hoping that if you work hard enough, someone will finally notice you. But when you are overlooked for a promotion (again), you don’t fight for yourself. Instead, you tell yourself, Maybe I’m just not good enough.Relationships: Afraid to Speak UpYour spouse or partner asks what’s wrong when you seem distant, but you shrug it off with a smile. "I’m just tired," you say. The truth? You feel unseen. Unappreciated. But voicing that feels selfish, so you bury it.With friends, you listen to their struggles, offering support and encouragement, but you never shares your own burdens. You don’t want to be a bother.Evening Routine: Ignoring Her Own NeedsAt night, after the kids are asleep, You finally have a moment to yourself. But instead of using it for something you enjoy, you scroll through social media, comparing your life to others. You sees moms who look happy, successful women who seem confident, and wonders, Why can’t I be like them?You fall asleep exhausted, dreading another day of the same cycle.
