Making Space For Me | Podcast Guru

Details

When you self-neglect, you suffer. Making Space for Me is for women who do everything for everyone, yet rarely have space for themselves. This personal growth and wellness podcast explores emotional load, burnout, self-neglect, and the invisible pressures that make it hard to choose yourself. Through short, reflective episodes, each conversation offers practical insight, mindset shifts, and permission to slow down, honor your needs, and reconnect with yourself. Hosted by Nurse Practitioner and Wellness Educator Otanthia Williams-Brady. At the heart of this work is a simple truth: self-priority isn’t selfish—it’s stewardship. This podcast is an invitation to make space for yourself in a life that never slows down and to live in a way that supports your well-being—not just the roles and responsibilities you hold—because your needs matter too!
