Let\\u2019s take just a moment to review\\xa0all of\\xa0the people who rely on you\\xa0in a given\\xa0week.\\xa0\\xa0
Your partner. Your kids. Your team at work. Your broader family. Your friends. That\'s a lot...and\\xa0it can be overwhelming at times.\\xa0
You\\u2019ve probably seen the social media meme that says, \\u201cSelf care\\xa0isn\\u2019t selfish!\\u201d It\\u2019s typically written in\\xa0some kind of flowy\\xa0font on top of a photo of a woman in a bubble bath.\\xa0\\xa0
But, for the number of times you\\u2019ve seen that meme, \\u2018liked\\u2019 that meme, nodded along with that meme, and even repeated that meme to other people in your life,\\xa0do you\\xa0actually practice\\xa0it?\\xa0
When the rubber hits the road and you\\xa0have to\\xa0choose between showing up for someone else\\u2019s wants and needs when you\\u2019re maxed out and need a break, what do you choose?\\xa0
Time and time again, we see people forego their own needs to continue to deliver for, show up for, and take care of others, and it\\u2019s to their own detriment.\\xa0
In this episode, we\\u2019re tackling this head-on by addressing one fundamental truth:\\xa0If\\xa0so\\xa0many people are relying on you, that means you\\u2019re a very important person in that equation. It means you\\u2019re an asset. And an asset is something that needs to be protected in order to retain its value.\\xa0\\xa0
Let that sink in.\\xa0
You are the asset.\\xa0
Protect the asset.\\xa0
Consider this our battle-cry to achievers everywhere! If you play an important role in others\\u2019 lives, you need to protect yourself so that you can continue to show up the way you want to and the way they need you to.\\xa0\\xa0
You are the asset.\\xa0
