Episode 14: Choosing Yourself Without Guilt - Why Your Healing Isn’t Selfish
Have you ever felt guilty for resting, saying “no,” or simply putting your own healing first?
Yup. Same here.
In this episode of Transformative Journeys, we’re unpacking the guilt so many of us feel when we finally try to choose ourselves - and why that guilt isn’t a sign that you’re selfish… it’s a sign that you’ve been conditioned to ignore your own needs.
You’ll learn:
- Why choosing yourself isn’t selfish - it’s neurologically necessary
- The brain science behind guilt, stress, and people-pleasing
- What compassion fatigue looks like (and why it’s not “just being tired”)
- Practical tools to help you prioritize your healing without the shame-spiral
💜 If your inner guilt gremlin gets loud any time you try to slow down, rest, or take up space - this one’s for you.
