Don’t Hit the Snooze Button on Yourself
Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts
Too many people show up for work, for their boss, for obligations—but when it comes to showing up for themselves, they take a back seat. They break promises to themselves, push their own needs aside, and wonder why they feel stuck.
In this episode, I break down what hitting the metaphorical snooze button has to do with your self-worth. Ask yourself: If you had an appointment with yourself—let’s say a walk in the late afternoon—but then a work call comes in after hours, would you take it? Many would, without hesitation. But here’s the truth: That appointment with yourself is just as important as any other.
Self-respect doesn’t come from external validation—it starts with you. If you don’t treat your own time, goals, and well-being as a priority, no one else will.
So, start small. If you say you’ll wake up at 5 AM and work out for 20 minutes, do it. If that’s too much, start with 10 minutes. Even five. But keep the promise you made to yourself. Show up for you.
Because self-respect isn’t demanded—it’s demonstrated.
How you show up for yourself shapes everything else. Start treating yourself like the most important meeting on your calendar.
