Yesterday, Polis Xinaris and I went live on Instagram and it turned into one of those conversations I didn't want to end.
Polis works mainly with men, I work mainly with women. We met a couple of months ago through a community we both joined called Betterment.
We talked about something simple: The relationship you have with yourself.
Not your relationship with your partner, your work or your fertility journey. With yourself.
What came up surprised me because even though our clients are different, what we both kept seeing was the same thing.
Most of us were taught, from a very young age, to respect everyone else first.
Sit still at the dinner table. Be polite. Be good. Be helpful.
So we grew up doing exactly that: Putting everyone else in the picture and leaving ourselves out of it.
.. and then we wonder why we feel so depleted. Why we keep waiting for someone to say "you've done enough". Why that moment never seems to come.
Something Polis said really stayed with me. He talked about how we look for meaning through a screen now, searching for something we're not quite finding anywhere else.
It made me think about the women I work with. How many of them are scrolling, researching, doing everything right and still feeling completely disconnected from themselves.
The relationship with yourself isn't separate from your fertility, your health, your relationships. It's underneath all of it.
That's what we spoke about yesterday.
If you missed it, the full conversation is now on my YouTube channel.
It's worth watching, not because we have all the answers but because some of it might make you stop and ask the right question.
Where am I in the picture?
If this resonated, send it to someone who needs to hear it. 🤍
