Welcome back to the Zero-Guilt Zone!
I want to make sure this space feels less like a classroom and more like a kitchen table, where we can share the honest struggles that no one talks about.
We talk a lot about the 'Push Harder' Lie here, but the real enemy is the GUILT that kicks in when you try to rest or say no.
Let’s call out the moments that trigger the most shame for us:
The Guilt-Spot Check
Which one of these moments causes your inner critic to scream the loudest?
- The "Slow Down" Guilt: Taking a day off when you know you have a huge deadline coming up.
- The "Saying NO" Guilt: Declining a last-minute favor from a friend or colleague.
- The "Movement" Guilt: Choosing a 10-minute walk over a full, intense gym workout.
- The "Financial" Guilt: Spending money on self-care (like a massage or new tea) instead of on a "practical" necessity.
Comment below with the number (1, 2, 3, or 4) that hits you the hardest right now.
Bonus Challenge: Share the one phrase your inner critic always uses in that moment!
This is a shame-free zone. The first step to eliminating the guilt is naming it.
