šŸ“ Episode Summary: In this heartfelt episode, Cheri unpacks the sneaky habit of putting everyone else first—even strangers—and what it really means when we constantly flake on ourselves. She calls it Southern Hospitality Syndrome: a charming but toxic blend of kindness and chronic self-abandonment. With her signature warmth and wit, Cheri shares personal stories, including a hilarious tale of 20 years of polite miscommunication, and offers real-world tips on how to finally treat yourself like someone you actually care about. Stick around for a guided chakra meditation focused on the heart, throat, and third eye to help you align with self-love and truth. šŸ”‘ Three Key Learning Points:
  • Self-Abandonment Looks Polite: Being ultra-kind to others while bailing on your own needs is still abandonment—just with a smile.
  • Calendar It Like You Mean It: Treat personal commitments like appointments with someone important (spoiler: that’s you).
  • Confidence = Equality: True confidence isn’t about being better—it's knowing you're just as valuable as anyone else at the table.
