Everyone leans on me, but who can I lean on for support?

Ever feel like you have to take care of everything (and everyone!), and yet who is taking care of you?

Today’s short video is about why you may feel this way, what are the underlying causes and how you can feel less alone shouldering this burden…

If you feel unsupported at work, or in your relationships, it could be because you weren’t truly supported as a kid. When the adults closest to us aren’t available or able to meet our deepest emotional needs, it can lead us to adapt the belief that we need to take care of ourselves in this world. 

We can’t rely on others. It’s not safe, or we’ll be disappointed.

And, if you were born in a female or marginalized body, you may have been conditioned to believe it’s your job to take care of everyone else’s needs, and ignore your own.

This is a nurture vs. nature situation. 

We learned these patterns of behavior. And we can unlearn them.

If you want support in receiving support – join our next Soul Circle! Starts Jan 24th. 

Learn more and apply HERE.

You deserve to feel held, cared for, and deeply, deeply supported. You don’t have to go it alone. 

Join our group of like-minded women to get the true nourishment your soul longs for in a Soul Circle. Hope to see you there!

Until then, I see you. I see all that you do. I see all that you are. I’m energetically giving you a big hug and bowing down to all that you do, all that you are and all that you’re becoming.

Big love,

Vanessa
