On the outside your life looks perfect. But, deep down inside you know that something is “off”; you feel dissatisfied and unfulfilled.

You have a momentary thought that maybe you could make a change, but in the end, you don’t dare rock the boat. Afraid that if you did, you would disappoint everyone. Worse yet? If they found out who you really were, no one would love you.

For years I heard the faint cries of dissatisfaction, but as a die-hard people pleaser, I convinced myself that my needs didn’t matter. Instead of speaking my truth, I took pride in my unending endurance to stick things out. I thought that if I simply tried harder, achieved more and devoted myself to pleasing my husband and everyone around me that it would all get better. It didn’t.

I give you permission to put yourself first!
