75: Throwback #4—Are You a Martyr?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today’s episode is another powerful one in my throwback series which will be running over the coming weeks while I take some time to work on my writing. As I’ve mentioned before, I absolutely love throwbacks because they give us all the chance to reflect and see if we have been applying the information and strategies offered in these episodes, and to determine what we may need to do differently or where we may need to take more action in these areas. So once again, whether you’ve heard them before, or whether this is your first time, you are going to get something valuable out of these episodes, which just happen to be some of my favorites, so get your notepad ready and prepare yourself to soak up the knowledge and wisdom that is coming your way.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, I want to talk to you about an all too common stumbling block for women in having the energy and time to accomplish their goals, and that is martyrdom behavior. I know that this is a category that I fell into for a long time, and today we’ll explore if you are showing up in that way as well, and I’ll offer some tools to help you move through it so you can start enjoying the crap out of life!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ll begin by looking at just what the Martyr Complex is, where it shows up in our lives, and the costs associated with living out the martyr role. We’ll also review the part that guilt plays within this role, and I’ll share 5 steps you can take to help move you through martyrdom. As you’ve heard me say time and time again, we are not meant to have to struggle and suffer to have the life we want, but we are meant to enjoy life and having fun plays an important role within that. Today’s episode is your invitation to flip the switch, to shift your mindset, to change the behaviors, and to start to live your life in a very different way so that you feel happier, more fulfilled, and better prepared to move forward on your goals.</span></p> <p><sp
