If you've ever told yourself "I don't have time to take care of myself" because you're too busy taking care of everyone else — this one's for you.
Whether it's your kids, your job, your partner, aging parents, or your community — a lot of us are constantly pouring out… while running on empty.
In this episode, I'm sharing a concept from CrossFit — "core to extremity" — and how it changed the way I think about showing up for others. We're talking about where real strength comes from, what happens when we don't start at the center, and how taking care of yourself first is not selfish — it's strategic.
If you feel stretched thin or burned out, this might be the reframe you didn't know you needed.
🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode:
-
What CrossFit taught me about power and strength — and how it applies to your life
-
The lie behind "I don't have time for myself"
-
What happens when you serve from depletion vs. strength
-
A new way to think about self-care (that's not bubble baths and yoga pants)
-
What I learned during one of the hardest seasons of my life — and how I show up differently now
