Tonight was one of those moments that used to completely tip me over.
I walked into a messy kitchen… dishes everywhere… and that instant feeling hit:
“Why is this all on me?”
That used to spiral 🌀 me.
Snappy, overwhelmed, frustrated…
Shouting and crying, then the guilt for reacting like that.
But now I catch it differently.
Because I know it’s not about the dishes.
It’s what they represent.
Carrying too much
Having no space to switch off
Feeling like everything is up to you, feeling resentment…
Feeling under valued
And
That’s what actually drains you.
And for years, I thought I just needed to be better.
More patient. More organised. Less reactive.
But nothing changed… until I started putting myself first.
Setting clear expectations
Stopping over-functioning
Creating actual support around me
That’s when everything shifted.
Not perfect. Not overnight.
But I stopped feeling like I was constantly on edge in my own life.
This is exactly what I help exhausted women do.
Because it’s not that you can’t cope.
It’s that you were never meant to carry it all alone.
If you’re feeling this right now, message me “YOU FIRST” we’ll talk about what this could look like for you.
