“It’s not you, it’s me.” 😏

Ever catch yourself saying that—even when it’s clearly not all on you?

That might be a case of what I call Over-Responsibili-itis (yes, I made that up… but if you’ve got it, you know it) 🫶🏼

Full disclosure - I had it for decades 😫🙃

It’s that tendency to take the blame, carry the weight, and over-own situations that aren’t actually yours to fix.

And often? It’s rooted in shaky self-belief.

Because when you don’t fully trust your worth, your default setting becomes:

👉 “It must be my fault.”
👉 “I should have known better.”
👉 “I’ll just try harder next time.”

Here’s how to know if you’ve caught a case of Over-Responsibili-itis:

⚡ You say yes to others, but constantly say no to yourself.
⚡ You walk on eggshells, trying to keep the peace (even when it costs you).
⚡ You apologize… for having needs.
⚡ You replay conversations on a loop, wondering if you upset someone.
⚡ You take feedback (or silence) very personally.
⚡ You confuse being needed with being worthy.
⚡ You’re exhausted from holding it all together.

Sound familiar? 😥 It’s a heavy weight isn’t it?

I’m here to say that this is what we shift, together in my 1:1 self-image coaching.

Trusting yourself is a lot lighter than trying to prove yourself.

And the joy from doing that work is immeasurable.

DM me if you’re ready to drop the weight and start believing in you.

The room was warm. Not quite hot but enough heat to warrant a towel spread across my yoga mat to give my sweaty hands some extra grip, and provide a soft landing for the drops of salty perspiration my body was offering.

It had been years, possibly as many as ten since I’d attended a yoga class in person. From the moment I arrived in the studio, felt the soothing warmth envelop my body, claimed my spot in the room that would eventually fill with people of all sizes, all ages…I felt it.

That something sacred.

I couldn’t put my finger on it exactly, but I knew this would be special.

In part because this was my first ever in-person class led by Tracey whose yoga classes I’d been doing online for more than 16 years.

I’d forgotten how easy it was to tap into that sense of togetherness and maybe even the popular ‘oneness’ that has become such a buzz word these days, when you’re in a yoga class in person. Oh, I felt it. All these people, me included, here to practice what has been sacred for over 5,000 years. An offering and discipline for our bodies, minds, spirits in the private witnessing and presence with ourselves, together.

In the name of everything holy, I felt it.
