Opening Quote:

Hey it’s Deb, welcome to, “Be Your Empowered Self “

Here’s the theme , “ I’m not OK-but I feel guilty about it”

Does this feel familiar? Does it resonate with you well in this episode we will be talking about why is this a lie and how can we build self empowerment to overcome these feelings?

Quote:- Carl Jung/Swiss psychiatrist

“ I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become”

This is profound. It’s about not being defined by collapsed mistakes or mental health challenge. . It fits beautifully with a shame of not coping well because shame tells us we are our struggle.. so this quote counters that with quiet power.

In this final episode of our Mental Health Awareness Month series, we’re naming something most people are afraid to say out loud: “I’m not okay—but I feel guilty about it.” This episode pulls back the curtain on the shame so many women feel when they’re quietly crumbling inside, yet still expected to hold it all together. We’re talking about burnout, emotional exhaustion, and the invisible mental load—the kind that doesn’t show up on paper but weighs heavy on your spirit.

So listen and find out more why quiet power they need to be your own advocate is so important.
