I've said "Yes" to every one of these things at one point in my life.
I was no stranger to being a "Yes, woMAN," always putting the needs of others above my own. Never taking the time I needed to cater to me, recuperate. Every penny I earned went to make sure everyone around me was happy, healthy, and thriving.
I was also no stranger to the feeling of loss and disconnect, I was my worst critic, always bullying myself. At one point, it was a struggle to even find something nice to say about myself. In spite of all the things I'd accomplished, all the certificates, awards, etc; I was never good enough for me.
But eventually, I was able to look in the mirror and answer the question of "Who have I become," with certainty. Through letting go of the guilt of wanting to finally do something for myself, I'd become the woman I always wanted to be. One with peace of mind, striving to achieve my dreams and showing my family along the way that "I love you, but I also love me."
After coming out on the other side of confusion and self-sacrifice, the feelings I'd experienced deserved to be shared and felt by every woman around me. And so it became my desire to help empower other women to break the cycle knowing they have what they need in life to be happy, but feeling like something was missing. This led me on a path of becoming a Self-Love Coach and The Rejuvenated Mother, helping other mothers to ILLUMINATE through Reclamation of Self After Commitment!
