You are the go-to woman, at work and at home. You rarely say no, and you take on any project that is given to you. You hate to feel like you are letting people down. But, with each yes you feel like your heart is going to explode.

You have so many projects, tasks, and people to take care of; your mind is always working, planning, and prepping for the next thing… or thinking of what could go wrong and trying to avoid it. It makes it hard to relax, to sleep, or to enjoy time with friends and family.

You look at other women and wonder how they have is so “together”, and wonder what you’re doing wrong.

You feel frustrated and angry towards others. You act in passive-aggressive ways and you are more irritable towards loved ones. You try to express yourself but you end up crying and never getting your true needs met. You know that doing the same thing over and over is insanity, but you can’t seem to find your way out of the vicious cycle.

I get it. I have been there too and so many other people get caught up in this cycle. But it is time to get out of the cycle and back into living the life you desire.

You can have the balance in your life.

There are no magic, quick fixes because it takes a commitment. A commitment that you are not used to giving to yourself, but you’ve known you needed to make.

Too often women feel overwhelmed and under a great deal of pressure. As a result, women may stop engaging in adequate self-care, may experience guilt, and may feel emotionally and physically exhausted. Add to these marital problems, behavioral problems with their children, a lack of social support, and a woman can easily end up depressed and anxious.

Many times women turn to unhealthy coping strategies or they shut down and sacrifice their own wants and needs.

Women, by nature are relational people, and the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself. By finding your voice, your meaning, your true passion, and your goals, you can begin to live a life you truly love and become the person you have always wanted to be.
