Many women quietly put themselves last - not because they don’t care, but because they’re used to responding to everyone else.

In this solo episode of Self-Worth School, I explore what it really means to become the main character in your own life without guilt, drama, or blowing everything up.

I talk about how easy it is to lose touch with what you want, and why putting yourself last is a learned habit rather than a personality trait.

I'll also introduce the idea of defaults vs wants, and explain why jealousy, boredom, and daydreaming can be useful clues rather than things to ignore.

💛 In this episode, we cover:

✨ Why burnout doesn’t always look dramatic

✨ How living on autopilot keeps you stuck

✨ The difference between habits and real wants

✨ Why becoming the “main character” isn’t selfish

✨ How small choices build self-trust over time

If you’ve been feeling capable but slightly disconnected from yourself, this episode will help you slow down, notice what’s going on, and decide what you want to do differently - without pressure to have it all figured out.

If you’ve been feeling capable, responsible, and slightly disconnected from yourself, this episode offers a chance to pause and reflect before deciding what comes next.

But ultimately, know that you are your own person and your dreams matter.

Self-advocacy can feel uncomfortable - especially for women who’ve been taught to be agreeable, grateful, or quiet.

But learning to speak up for yourself is one of the most powerful ways to build confidence, self-worth, and a life that actually feels aligned.

In this episode of Self-Worth School, I'm joined by Michelle Steiner, who shares her personal journey of self-advocacy through education, work, and life - including navigating learning disabilities, challenging expectations, and learning to use her voice even when it felt scary.

Together, we explore what self-advocacy really means (and what it doesn’t), why so many women struggle to ask for what they need, and how bravery, honesty, and self-worth can coexist.

In this episode, we cover:

- How societal expectations shape our confidence and voice

- The difference between being assertive and being aggressive

- How to advocate for yourself in both big moments and everyday situations

- Why recognising your strengths - alongside your limits - is empowering.
