81 | Why We Hesitate to Invest in Ourselves (and How to Move Through the Fear)

In this episode, I’m digging into something I see all the time with high-achieving leaders; especially those in healthcare, non-profits, and other helping professions.

We’re burned out. We’re exhausted. We know we need support. And yet… we hesitate to invest in ourselves.

Maybe you’ve felt that quiet resistance before. You come across a coaching offer, a retreat, or a program that sparks something inside you but then you talk yourself out of it. You wonder if it’s worth the money, if it’s selfish, or if you should just keep pushing through.

I get it. I’ve been there. And today, I want to unpack what’s really behind that hesitation, what it costs us, and how we can move through the fear and finally say yes to our own wellbeing.

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve been running on fumes but keep telling yourself “later”
• You’re carrying the weight of leadership and caregiving with no space to exhale
• You secretly wonder how much longer you can keep going like this

I’ll walk you through the emotional and nervous system reasons we resist investing in ourselves, and why doing so isn’t self-indulgent but essential.

If you’re ready to stop surviving and start reconnecting to your energy, clarity, and purpose, I invite you to tune in.
