If You're Not On the List, We Need to Talk


Where do you fall on your own priority list?

Are you even on it?

In this week's episode of The Balanced Badass Podcast®, I sat down with therapist and feminist Pam Rothman, LPC, to talk about something that's gotten way too trendy and way too surface-level: self-care.

This isn't about bubble baths and cold plunges (like why do those exist?!).

We talked about:

  • Why so many folks suck at boundaries.
  • How guilt shows up when we start protecting our energy.
  • The 10-minute rule for sustainable self-care.
  • And the one exercise Pam uses that makes her clients cry (in a good way).

This episode is a must-listen if you're feeling pulled in a million different directions and haven't said no without explaining yourself in a while.

And here's your challenge this week:

Make a list of the people and things you prioritize most.

Then ask yourself... Where am I on that list?

It's confronting, but it's clarifying. Because you can't reclaim your energy if you're not even in the equation.

Catch you in your earbuds,
