You're The Emotional Backbone of Your Loved Ones, Cracking Under The Burden

You’re visionary, empathetic, and insightful.

You’re the emotional backbone of your family, your workplace, or community. But you’re cracking under the weight of it all. 

You’ve spent a lifetime taking care of others while ignoring your own needs.

Your ideas could change the world, but they're stuck inside you because you’re juggling too much, and were never taught to receive support.

Your body tells the story: chronic exhaustion, aching joints, sleep disruption, and a nervous system in overdrive.

You were raised to believe that taking care of yourself is selfish. Guilt and perfectionism were hardwired in you from childhood. Boundaries feel dangerous, so you say yes when you need to say no, and resentment simmers under the surface.

You’re afraid you’ll snap at your kids… again.

Despite all this, you deeply want to break the cycles keeping you small.

You’re ready to learn, especially from someone who truly sees you.

You want to show up fully and finally give yourself the care you’ve always given others.

Although you value kindness, fairness, and healing, you’re so used to deprioritizing your own needs that it’s hard to turn those values toward yourself. Can you really break the generational cycle of over-giving?

You have valid reasons to put it off, like time, money, and caregiving demands. But beneath those surface barriers is a deeper pattern: you’ve been socialized to believe that caring for yourself is selfish, and that selfish is dangerous.

As a result, you suppress you needs until resentment or exhaustion erupt.

Your self-worth is outsourced to how much you do for others, rather than respecting the deep, creative, visionary person you inherently are.

You need simple, embodied ways to rebuild self-worth.

Be honest, how long has self-doubt been keeping you small?

I know.

It’s frustrating and disheartening AF.

I struggled with putting everyone else first for decades longer than I needed to…  

I thought that in order to be lovable I would need to always please everybody, and never disappoint anyone but myself.

TURNS OUT I WAS DEEPLY INDOCTRINATED INTO A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO KEEP ME SERVING OTHERS 

Reclaim Your Worth 

What if you could care for yourself and still show up for the people you love—without guilt, without burnout, and without snapping from the weight of it all?

Something inside you is screaming, “ENOUGH!”

Enough self-neglect. Enough shame. Enough hiding your needs to stay safe.

🌱 You’re not broken.

🌱 You’ve been conditioned to believe your worth is in your output.

🌱 You’re allowed to rest, receive, say no… and still be loved.

Selfworthy: The 4-Week Somatic Shift for Over-Givers

Over the next 4 weeks, you’ll gently untangle the patterns that keep you stuck in over-giving.

You’ll reconnect with your body, your voice, and your right to take up space.

To shift from self-neglect to self-honoring, we will:

• Ask daily self-empathy questions, such as:
  • “How am I really feeling?”
  • “What do I most need right now?”
  • “How can I support the part of me that feels unworthy?”
• Notice resentment as a key signal that your needs are being ignored.
• Interrupt self-criticism by asking, “What would I say to my best friend?”
• Celebrate daily worthiness wins, even small ones (like resting without guilt).
• Anchor and integrate all of the above with short, somatic yoga practices that include breathwork and core engagement—supporting self-empowerment not just mentally, but physically.
