Ever caught yourself saying “I don't have time for me”... and felt a wave of guilt, frustration, or flat-out exhaustion right behind it? That used to be me. But what I've learned is this: that thought? It's not a time problem—it's a boundary problem. In this episode, I'm walking you through one of my favorite mindset shifts.
