434. How to Stop Self-Sacrificing and Create Success That Doesn't Deplete You

 
 
 
 
 

So many women are being held back by self-sacrificing without even realizing it.

From a young age, women are conditioned to be the “yes” girl. They’re praised for putting everyone else first and smiling while doing it. We’re allowed to fill our own cup, but only if it doesn’t inconvenience someone else.

Self-sacrifice is a learned survival strategy (and one that eventually will quietly drain you), but you can learn how to choose differently. During this episode, I’ll share tips for creating boundaries so you can self-sacrifice less.

In this episode, you will learn about:

The common areas women tend to self-sacrifice and why.

How ambition is admired until it inconveniences others.

The woman’s role as the default parent and how it impacts your nervous system.

The first step to interrupting your own pattern of self-sacrifice.

How to build the support you need to start making real changes.

The one thing you can decide today to take one step away from self-sacrifice.

How you can reduce decision fatigue (and support more sustainable mental energy).

A reminder that those around you will need to adjust to your reduced self-sacrificing.
