Listen "EP31 - The Courage To Choose Yourself"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Healing Paradox, we explore what it means to choose yourself when life keeps pulling you in every direction.
Through the story of Michelle - a woman who spent years doing everything for everyone - we see what happens when caring turns into exhaustion. Michelle worked, cleaned, cooked, helped, and kept going until there was nothing left of her own energy.
Her story is familiar because many of us live the same way. We say yes when we're tired. We feel guilty when we rest. We forget that we're allowed to stop.
This episode looks at why that guilt appears, how to move through it, and what it takes to make small, steady changes that bring peace back into your day. I also share my own moment of realising I was the one keeping myself exhausted, and what shifted when I stopped.
You don't need to fix everything at once.
You just need one small moment where you matter too.
