How to Prioritize YOU When Everyone Needs Something from You

Ever feel like you’re the emotional support system for your entire world?

Like everybody depends on you for motivation, guidance, and advice—but when it comes to you, there’s nothing left in the tank? Same.

In this solo episode, I break down the hard truth: if you aren’t the rock for yourself, you will erode.

This week, I share my personal breaking point, the moment I realized how much energy I was giving away, and what happened when I finally poured into myself instead.

From setting boundaries to reclaiming your time and energy, we’re talking about how to still show up for others without losing yourself in the process.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔️ Why being everyone’s go-to person can drain you more than you realize

✔️ The breaking point that forced me to prioritize myself

✔️ The power of pouring into YOU first (and what happened when I finally did)

✔️ How to recognize when you’re overextending yourself

✔️ Practical ways to set boundaries and take your time back

✔️ Why prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary
