Ever feel guilty for saying no… for choosing yourself… for setting a boundary?

It’s probably not guilt.

It’s shame.

For many of us, that shame was planted in childhood.

We were taught — directly or indirectly — that our worth only existed when we were doing something for someone else.

we feel like we’re doing something wrong.

We feel like we’re being selfish.

But really — we’re just bumping into the shame someone else handed us.
