The Lie of Self-Sacrifice: Why Women Are Taught to Burn Out
Are you constantly giving but still feel empty at the end of the day? You're not alone—and it’s not your fault.
In this powerful episode, Anita Sandoval sits down with Cara-Michele Nether, Licensed Acupuncturist and founder of Strength & Vitality Wellness, to uncover the deeper reasons women are running on empty. Together, they explore the intersection of people-pleasing, burnout, and generational programming that teaches women to sacrifice their energy in order to belong.
You’ll learn:
- Why self-care is more than spa days—it’s your survival strategy.
- How people-pleasing is hardwired into the nervous system.
- What happens when women choose themselves, and how to deal with the backlash.
- How to start reclaiming your energy with just 5 minutes a day.
- The truth about creating momentum, not perfection.
This episode is your reminder that you deserve to feel good, and you don’t need permission to prioritize your well-being.
