You might think that being a good mom, wife, or employee requires you to do it all. You might believe that no one else will if I do not do it. You might think it is selfish to say no. You've convinced yourself that you should look a certain way or be a certain size.
None of those things are true.
I get it.
I understand the weight of the expectations placed upon us as wives, mothers, and career women. Society often tells us that we must juggle everything effortlessly, sacrificing our well-being in the process. But let me tell you, it's time to challenge those beliefs.
THE TRUTH
The truth is you are not obligated to do it all alone. Your worth is not measured by how much you can take on. Saying no is not selfish—it's an act of self-preservation and self-respect. Setting boundaries in your career is not a sign of weakness but a demonstration of your value and self-awareness.
MORE TRUTH
The truth is, those unrealistic standards about your appearance and size are nothing but societal constructs designed to keep us small. You are beautiful and worthy exactly as you are, without needing to conform to anyone else's standards.
Now close your eyes and imagine yourself on the other side of therapy where YOU believe all of these truths.
