Have you ever felt guilty for putting yourself first? For saying no, setting boundaries, disappointing someone, or choosing what’s best for you, even when it means someone else might not be happy with your decision?This week on The Debrief, we’re having an honest conversation about the guilt that comes with choosing ourselves. From people-pleasing and feeling responsible for everyone else’s happiness to struggling with boundaries and the fear of being misunderstood, we’re unpacking why putting ourselves first can sometimes feel like we’re letting everyone else down.Why do we feel the need to explain our decisions? When did being a good friend, daughter, partner or colleague start meaning we had to put ourselves last? And how do we learn to choose ourselves without feeling like we’re becoming selfish?Because there’s a difference between being selfish and finally recognising that your needs matter, too. And sometimes, becoming the person you want to be means disappointing the people who were comfortable with the version of you who never said no.So, Debrief girls, let’s talk about the guilt, the growth and everything in between. 💗💌 Have a dilemma or a story you’d like us to discuss?
