In this episode of Next Level Greatness, I explore the critical topic of self-abandonment and share practical strategies to maintain self-care when life gets challenging. Recording from Central Park in New York City while caring for my 84-year-old mother after her hip surgery, I share personal insights about balancing caregiving responsibilities with essential self-care.
Learn why successful, driven women often abandon their needs during stressful periods and discover my three-step framework to prevent this pattern:
(1) Make the conscious decision not to self-abandon, (2) Identify specific nurturing activities that fill your cup, and (3) Incorporate pleasure and self-soothing practices into your daily routine.
I share my personal experience using nervous system regulation techniques, including somatic practices that have transformed my relationship with stress. Discover simple but powerful self-soothing techniques you can use anywhere, even during turbulent flights or hospital visits!
Plus, I announce my new program "Unclenched" - a comprehensive 30-day somatic experience designed to help you release tension, stress, and trauma from your body, launching June 20th with special introductory pricing. Whether you're caring for aging parents, navigating career demands, or dealing with market volatility, this episode offers practical wisdom to help you maintain your well-being without compromising your responsibilities.
