We overexplain. We apologize. We try to convince other people that our needs are reasonable before we even ask for them.   But what if you trusted that your needs are allowed to take up space?   You don't have to convince someone that your needs matter. You get to say: "This is what I need."   No guilt. No apology. No permission slip.   Because you're not an extra in your own life.

"If I don't fix this, everything will fall apart." "I need to make sure everyone else is okay before I take care of myself." "I don't want to take up too much space."   Do these thoughts sound familiar? If so, you might be carrying responsibilities that were never yours to begin with.   One of my clients recently had a breakthrough. She realized: "It's their life.

By 6 p.m., our brains are tired. Then we ask ourselves: •Should I work out? •What should I eat? • Is this healthy? •Should I meal prep? •Should today be a rest day? Eventually, the brain says: "Let's just do nothing." This is one of the biggest reasons coaching works. Most people don't need more nutrition knowledge. They need fewer decisions. Sometimes the most valuable thing I say to a client all week is: "Eat the veggie egg bake."
