Co-dependency is a bitch and possibly like me - you don't even realize it until it's too late. Storytime, ya'll - here is a background story that most folks won't talk about, admit, or say openly. After all, it is a very private and personal experience, but keeping some things to ourselves doesn't help others realize that they're not alone in feeling the same way. If this story relates to ONE person, then, yes, you're not alone in how you feel, and telling this story was worth it. As we hit Episode 5... I'm super humbled to share with you intimate details of my life. Every 5th episode will be a ..."PSST" to you - A Personal Soul-telling Story of Truth.If you find these stories valuable, please leave a comment so I know that the next one (Episode 10 - Telling my husband that he can have his divorce - story) is one that I ought to share with you! Now... about that co-dependency that started at the tender age of 16....Listen now!

"Rewrite the game of self care". If you can enjoy a moment to yourself for an hour or three, why is it you still feel like you have to explain yourself, explain your decisions, or second guess your choices? Why are you still saying "yes" to others when you don't want to? Because you're nice and doing them a favor (on your precious time)? Well, then, if that's the case (or perhaps you just feel obligated so you don't feel rejected) why do you feel the pressure, the anxiousness, and frustration with those you agreed to help?!? But hey... your nails look good and the masseuse worked out some of that tension.... right?! "Selfcare" huh? 🥺***As a new mom, I endured a lot of judgment, criticism, and self-doubt from my family. When that finally caught up to me in the form of anger issues and self-depravity; it was hard for me to truly express my feelings and struggles. So I spent way too much money on things to fill in the emotional gaps of hopelessness and took out my anger on my kids. 😭But one …day… my stubbornness kicked in (in a great way this time), and I said....NO to 'them', and YES to me. I did some true self care practices which helped tremendously--no one can bring these memories back now or manipulate me (or you) into feeling guilty if they tried because, at least inside myself, I’m content and at 100% peace about mistakes made long ago by a hurting wife and mother. - No pedicure or 10-minute meditation is required. 😌

I said it- a mani and pedi for "self-care" is bull-shit. Now, I'm not one to shy away from gorgeous and well-manicured toesies and nails, etc. - but I cannot lie to you and praise these kinds of practices when despite doing this for myself for over 3 years... I was STILL emotionally panic-stricken to be vulnerable with my husband and mentally exhausted with limiting beliefs about myself. I was STILL trying to people-please and feel accepted by my family after my affair - trying to PROVE to them I was a worthy human to still be married to a great guy. I was STILL hurting so bad inside about my mom anger issues that a 45-minute nail session, that I finally didn't feel guilty about doing for myself,  just didn't cut it... My 'self' was crumbling at its core and no one would know the difference, and I had no idea how to 'care'  and love on myself first and foremost - outside of getting my nails done. But I called all those pampering-type actions "self-care" until ... Now. *Contains PG-13 Language

The womanhood - motherhood journey is often hard to navigate. You're not just doing this for yourself, but also for those you love most--your family! Unfortunately, it can be difficult when our identity gets wrapped up in being just a mom or wife that we forget who WE really ARE as women outside of these labels - which leads many women (like I did and many others I've worked with ) feeling lost about themselves because there's no outlet where they feel free enough explore their true selves without fear, judgment or rejection. But thankfully, here, I've created an online space so all married women in business have access TO become better versions OFMSELF by embracing what makes them uniquely female while still keeping it REAL - I'm keeping it real and saying everything most women are thinking but rarely say out loud.
