Why “I Don’t Have Time for Myself” Is Really a Mindset Issue

If you’ve ever said, “I just don’t have time for myself,” you’re not alone.

Between parenting, work, the home, and a never-ending mental to-do list, it’s easy to fall into the trap of putting yourself last. The problem is... when this becomes your default, it’s not just you who misses out — your whole family feels it too.

This episode dives into something that is entirely within your power to shift... the way you value and prioritise you.

The truth is:
Time isn’t always the real issue. Often, what’s underneath the excuse of “no time” is a deeply rooted belief that your needs aren’t as important... or that taking care of yourself is selfish.

But here’s what I know to be true...
Loving yourself enough to make space for your needs — even 10 minutes a day — is one of the most powerful gifts you can give to your family.

Because a mother who is connected to herself can connect more deeply with her children.
A woman who listens to her needs sets a powerful example for her children to do the same.
And a parent who honours themselves teaches their kids what self-worth really looks like.

Are you ready to stop the cycle of self-neglect and finally put yourself back on the priority list?
Start by watching this episode and take one small action today that’s just for you.
