What If Taking Care of Them Starts with Taking Care of You?

Let’s be honest.

You’re brilliant at showing up for everyone else.

You’re the one who keeps the wheels turning at home.

You remember the dog’s vet appointment, the school play, the work deadlines.

You make the dinners, manage the chaos, and somehow still try to be there for everyone, even when your own tank is flashing empty.

But here’s the truth most people won’t say out loud:

If you don’t start looking after yourself…

You won’t be able to keep looking after them.

The Guilt Trap You’ve Been Caught In

You want to be there for your kids, your partner, your colleagues, your dog, your friends.

So you put yourself last.

You tell yourself:

• “I don’t have time to exercise or eat healthy.”

• “It’s selfish to prioritise me over them.”

• “They need me more than I need this right now.”

  
  

But what happens?

You’re snappy. You’re shattered. You’re running on fumes.

You stop feeling like you, and start feeling like a robot running errands on autopilot.

Burnout doesn’t make you a better parent, partner, or friend.

It just makes you resentful, exhausted, and lost.

The Truth About Self-Care (That Has Nothing to Do with Bubble Baths)

Self-care isn’t a luxury. It’s a survival tool.

And I’m not talking about spa days and scented candles. Although feel free to chuck that in.

I’m talking about the basics:

• Moving your body so your energy comes back

• Eating in a way that fuels you (instead of numbing you)

• Setting boundaries so you’re not running yourself into the ground

• Giving yourself permission to take up space, not just physically, but emotionally

  
  

Looking after yourself is the only way you can keep showing up fully for the people who matter most.

Support Isn’t Self-Sacrifice

Here’s the part no one teaches you:

You can be there for your family AND yourself.

In fact, when you start looking after your own health, mentally, physically, emotionally...

Everyone benefits!

✅ You’ve got more energy to play, talk, and be present

✅ You model healthy habits for your family

✅ You stop feeling resentful and start feeling proud

✅ You become someone who leads from example, not burnout and shattered

If no one’s said it to you before, let me be the one:

You matter, too.

And when you take care of yourself,

You think clearer.

You become stronger.

You become even more resiliant to the challenges of life.

You don’t have to choose between helping others and helping yourself. You can do both.

You just need a system that fits your life.
