Description

There comes a point where always being the hero starts costing you your life.In this episode, I talk about what it really means to always show up for everyone else — and what it’s taken from me over the years.For three years straight, I set goals.For three years straight, I missed most of them.It wasn’t laziness.It wasn’t lack of ambition.It was misdirected energy.I realized I was investing more time into saving other people than I was building the life I say I want.And when you’re always Mufasa in everyone’s story…you forget how to be yourself in your own.We talk about:The hidden cost of always being the dependable oneWhy reliability and accessibility are not the same thingThe guilt that keeps you stuck in “hero mode”How survivor’s guilt shaped my boundariesWhy being the “bad guy” might actually save your lifeThere’s a difference between being kind and abandoning yourself.You can be the bad guy in someone’s story for a moment…or be the bad guy to yourself forever.It’s about DAMN time we stop confusing self-sacrifice with love.It’s About DAMN Time SegmentIt’s about DAMN time we stop being the bad guy to ourselves just to be liked.D.A.M.N. ChallengeChoose one moment this week to protect your time.No explanation.No over-justifying.No guilt spiral.Just choose you.Sit with the discomfort.Notice what doesn’t fall apart.y7hyFMu3Ji3bUwvrOXp8📲 Connect with Me🔗 Follow me on all platforms: @DaWholeDamnShow🎧 Follow It’s About DAMN Time: @ItsAboutDamnTimePod💥 Cop the DAMN University merch right here → Shop now
