Listen "Living Without Fear - Learning To Say “Me First” | With Esther Buerki"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever skipped a meal to return a call, held in your discomfort during a seminar, or pushed through exhaustion because someone else needed you? I’ve been there—too many times to count. And guess what? It left me drained, resentful, and struggling to show up for myself or anyone else.
This week, I’m diving into something that’s been a lifelong challenge for me: learning to prioritize my needs without guilt.
For years, I believed that putting others first was the right thing to do. But here’s what I’ve discovered: constantly ignoring your own needs doesn’t help anyone—not even the people you’re trying so hard to care for.
In this episode, I share:
My personal struggles as an empath who felt responsible for everyone else’s happiness
Real-life examples of how I’ve neglected my needs (like skipping lunch to run errands with my son)
Simple strategies I’m using to start putting myself first—and how they’re changing my life
You’ll hear about the small but powerful shifts I’ve made, like pausing to breathe before rushing to call someone back or giving myself permission to rest before tackling chores. These aren’t always easy, but they’re worth it.
If you’re struggling with this too, here’s my message for you:
Putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
You can’t pour from an empty cup.
And most importantly, you’re not alone.
