Ep. 797: The Cost of Always Putting Yourself Last

Ep. 797: The Cost of Always Putting Yourself Last

Author: JJ Flizanes January 20, 2026 Duration: 17:31

In this solo episode, JJ explores a pattern she sees repeatedly in women who are deeply caring, self-aware, and ready for healing—yet hesitate when it's time to invest in themselves.

Drawing from real conversations with women who are caregivers, over-givers, people-pleasers, and survivors of illness, JJ unpacks the deeper truth beneath statements like "I can't afford it." This episode isn't about money—it's about self-worth, nervous system safety, and the beliefs that quietly keep women putting themselves last.

Through the energetic lens of the Year of the Snake and the approaching Fire Horse, JJ explains how awareness alone isn't enough. Healing often requires an embodied choice—a stretch that tells your nervous system, I am worth being supported.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • Why women so often deprioritize their own healing and well-being

  • How abandonment wounds, caregiving roles, and people-pleasing show up around money

  • What not investing in yourself communicates to your body and subconscious

  • Why aligned investment can be a powerful act of re-patterning and self-trust

  • How choosing yourself builds confidence, self-love, and emotional resilience


This episode is an invitation to value yourself differently in 2026—not by doing more, but by believing you're worthy of support, healing, and expansion.

✨ If you've been feeling the call to invest in yourself but something keeps stopping you, this conversation may help you understand why—and what's possible on the other side of that choice.
