🤔⁉️ What happens when you become so good at taking care of everyone else that you lose touch with yourself?

For many women—especially in midlife—it can be surprisingly difficult to answer a simple question: “What do I need?”

You may be the person everyone counts on. The caregiver. The problem-solver. The mom, partner, professional, friend, or daughter who always seems to know what everyone else needs. And while there is nothing wrong with caring deeply for the people in your life, it can become easy to put your own needs, desires, and identity somewhere at the bottom of the list.

Eventually, you may find yourself wondering: When did I stop checking in with myself? What do I actually want? And how do I learn to trust myself again?

In this episode, we explore what it means to reconnect with yourself—not by completely changing your life, but by becoming more aware and intentional within the life you already have.

Dr. Laurie Bruce and I talk about why women can lose touch with themselves, the impact of caregiving and being “the one everyone depends on,” and how mindfulness can help us slow down enough to actually notice what we need.

🌟In this episode, we explore:

• Why women can lose touch with themselves as their roles and responsibilities evolve 
• How being the person everyone depends on can affect your own identity
• The difference between knowing what you need and simply doing what everyone else needs from you 
• How to begin reconnecting with yourself in midlife 
• What it means to know, love, and trust yourself again 
• Why self-trust can become difficult—and how we begin rebuilding it 
• How mindfulness can be much more than meditation or stress reduction 
• Using mindfulness to become more present in the middle of a very full life 
• Why you may not need a different life—you may simply need a different relationship with the life you're already living
• How to stop waiting for the next milestone, season, or accomplishment to finally feel happy 
• Small ways to begin listening to yourself again

👉🧠A question to take with you:
If everyone else's needs were temporarily off your plate, what would you notice about your own?
