You’ve spent most of your life caring for others—anticipating their needs, keeping the peace, and doing what’s expected. But lately, that role feels suffocating and you want to start choosing yourself. But guilt, fear of rejection, and a deep sense of obligation make it hard to even know what you want. If you have have been struggling with boundaries; people pleasing; cultural/family expectations; intergenerational trauma; self-advocacy and finding your voice; anxiety, identity confusion, and burnout; and navigating marginalized identities in dominant spaces, you're not alone. This space is for you.
