And That's Okay! Investing in Yourself

You ever hear people say, "Invest in yourself"?

Sounds great in theory. But let’s be real—what does that even mean? And more importantly, why does it sometimes feel so wrong to do?

Because let’s talk about it—when we invest in others, when we show up for work, family, friends, responsibilities—that feels right. It feels expected. But when we turn that energy inward, when we take time, money, or effort and put it into ourselves? Suddenly, we feel guilty. Selfish. Like we’re doing something wrong.

But here’s the truth: Investing in yourself isn’t selfish. It’s necessary. And pushing past that guilt? That’s where the real growth begins.

So today, we’re going to break this down. What investing in yourself really looks like, why it feels so hard, and how to start making yourself a priority without the guilt. Because taking care of yourself? And That’s okay.
