Ep 167: The Importance of Prioritizing Yourself (and How to Do That)

The Purposeful Career Podcast

Have you ever caught yourself constantly running on empty, pouring every ounce of energy into everything but yourself? This isn't just a chat about the merits of self-care; this is an awakening for those who've tucked their own needs away. Join me as we explore the art of self-prioritization in the intricate dance of career and life. It's particularly poignant for women, as we've historically been the caretakers, the nurturers, the put-everyone-else-firsters. But what if we dared to flip the script? Today, we dissect the societal norms and generational conditioning that often lead us to sideline our own dreams and discuss actionable steps you can take to carve out the space you deserve in your own life.
This journey of self-reflection brings us face-to-face with the often overlooked yet critical concept of self-care. Not the fleeting indulgences, but the deep, sustaining acts that fuel us to be better partners, parents, professionals—better humans. We hold up a mirror to the paradox of self-neglect, realizing that in our quest to be all things to all people, we risk burning out before we can shine. I challenge you to recalibrate your self-care compass, to shift the perspective of it being a luxury to recognizing it as a fundamental building block for a life well-lived.
And in this quest for personal growth, we're not just scratching the surface; we're digging deep into the roots of self-worth and identity. No sugarcoating here—we address the internalized beliefs of inadequacy that plague many of us and the transformative power of embracing our inherent value. Tune in as we talk through the strategies that can reshape our self-image, and learn about the support available through my monthly membership program, guiding you toward becoming the most empowered, actualized version of yourself. It's about thriving, not just surviving, and it starts with saying yes to putting yourself at the top of your own list.
