75. The Guilt Detox: How to Stop Feeling Selfish for Putting Yourself First
•
Heidi Gustafson
Ever feel guilty for needing a little breathing room, saying no, or wanting something just for you? You’re not alone — and it’s not because you’re selfish. It’s because you were trained to feel that way.
In this episode, we’ll bust the lie that being a “good woman” means being self-less, and uncover what it actually means to take care of yourself without apology.
You’ll learn:
- The hidden conditioning that made you equate self-care with selfishness — and how to break it.
- Why guilt flares up the moment you choose yourself (and why that’s actually a good sign).
- How to start your own Guilt Detox so you can replace guilt with balance, peace, and self-respect.
Because taking care of yourself isn’t selfish — it’s how you stay connected to who you are and who you were meant to be.
