You are not a bad girl

for WANTING TO HAVE your needs MET

BECAUSE CARING FOR YOURSELF HEALS AND RESTORES THE WORLD

I know the social conditioning have trained you (and all women) to play the role of the nurturer in a very restrictive way. A role where you are expected to play “NICE“, accommodate and make everyone happy at your expense.

A role where you feel like your life is owned by everyone else except yourself.

And that’s why in the act of caring for others, you push your needs further down the list and fall into a pattern of self-neglect and self-deprivation.

+ You are exhausted. Struggling to balance career, motherhood, partner time, volunteer time and me time. The list never ends.

+You are tired of being tired all the time and continually deferring your needs and wants.

+ You find yourself running on empty most of the time, feeling resentful and thinking there must be a better way to operate, but not sure what it is.

+ You want to be loved and you’re torn between taking care of your needs (which you know you need) and your family’s needs and everything else that requests your attention. It’s compounded by the fact that you know you are a people pleaser and over-giver and it seems that there isn’t enough time and space for both.

Caring for others doesn’t mean your needs should come last.

to get to a place where you can articulate what you need, set boundaries that you can stick to, stop living the burn out lifestyle and pay attention to the things that bring you real joy.

They Say

Vanessa'S GUIDANCE HAS BEEN INVALUABLE!

It was scary to release all relationships that spun me into believing that f I do not do/say/become______, then I will not be loved”. Shifting into self-love, self-compassion, self-care has been challenging. But I’m delighted that I am much more conscious of my wants, needs and desires. Thanks you Vanessa for whipping me into shape.
