I once heard a podcast interviewee share her story of overcoming a challenge and she said:
“If I had listened to me, it wouldn’t have happened.”
Which situations can you say that about in your life? 🧐
Where you ignored your gut feeling and intuition, only to be kicked in the butt by it later?
Hearing that sentence definitely caused me to reflect on many such times in my own life where I’d ignored my gut feeling, only to be slapped round the face by it later. 👋🏼
If I had listened to me, I wouldn’t have stayed in any of my past relationships so long. ❤️🩹
Maybe I would never have gotten involved in them in the first place. 🤷🏼♀️
If I had listened to me, I would have stood up for myself more when someone said or did something that hurt.
If I had listened to me, I’d have moved to Australia sooner. 🏝️
If I had listened to me, I’d have rested more, not worked myself to burnout and not given away so much of my energy to people that didn’t deserve it.
If I had listened to me, I’d have given myself permission to have difficult conversations sooner, knowing I could handle them.
I imagine most people reading this could say most of the above for themselves too.
Where are you not listening to yourself at the moment? 🎧
I’ve been listening to myself more and more over the last few years; it’s not always an easy ride, but when you compare it to the alternatives it’s definitely better in the long term.
My life has 100% improved because I don’t ignore myself anymore.
We become so busy that we’re disconnected from our best self; that self is the one we need to listen to.
Set aside time each day, and even moments all through the day, where you stop, breathe, and ask yourself;
🧐 What am I feeling right now?
❤️🩹 What do I need?
🗣️ Who can I ask for help?
Pay more attention to what you’re feeling, and why. Listen more. It’s an act of self-love.
Your best self knows what’s best for you. Your best self loves you unconditionally. 🥰
This is a key focus for those I work with in both 1:1 coaching as well as in my online coaching programs, From Surviving To Thriving as well as Project Self Worth – in fact, one of the main focal points of Project Self Worth is learning how to love yourself so much you never allow anyone to treat you like shit again.
When I finally learned that for myself, my entire world changed – how I felt and thought about myself, the work I aligned myself with, the people I decluttered from my life, the legends I spent more time with, my environment… everything is SO different from how it was when I didn’t love myself enough.
If any of this is hitting a nerve for you right now…. good. It means it’s time to change something.
This is the work I live and breathe: helping people rebuild self-trust, self-worth and boundaries after years of ignoring their own inner truth.
If you’re ready to drastically change your life in 2026 and want to learn how to love yourself and live your best life, drop me a message and let’s chat.
It’s your time. Let’s DO THIS.
Catcha on the flip side,
