190. Why Investing in Your Leadership Actually Makes You a Better Mom
You love your kids more than anything… but sometimes it feels like every ounce of energy you pour into them leaves nothing for you. And on the rare days you do want to focus on yourself — a class, a coach, even just quiet time — that whisper of guilt shows up: “Shouldn’t I be doing something for them...or for work...instead?”
Most women I work with tell me they feel selfish spending money or time on themselves. But what if investing in your own leadership, clarity, and growth is actually the most selfless thing you could do? Not because it sounds good, but because it literally ripples into every area of your life.
In this episode (celebrating 3 years of Journal Entries!), you'll hear:
- Why the "selfish vs. selfless" question is the wrong one to ask
- The two types of fear (and which one means you should actually say yes)
- How my $2,500/month business coach investment led to this podcast existing
- The Bali retreat I didn't take — and why I still think about it
After listening, you'll stop apologizing for wanting more. You'll see that investing in yourself isn't taking from your family or team — it's giving them the best version of you.
