"I'm so tired. All the time. No matter what I do."

If you've said this lately (or thought it, or whispered it into your coffee cup at 2 p.m.), this episode is for you.

In this week's Balanced Brews, we're diving into Why You're Tired All the Time — and I'm not talking about the "just get more sleep" kind of tired.

I'm talking about that deep, bone-tired, soul-level exhaustion that lingers even when you're doing everything "right."

✅ You're sleeping 7-8 hours
✅ You're eating well
✅ You're taking your vitamins
✅ You're doing "all the things"

So why are you still running on empty?

Today, we're getting to the root of it. And I promise — the answer isn't what you think.

Watch now on Rumble - https://rumble.com/v75gjoe-why-you-are-tired-all-the-time-and-its-not-what-you-think.html

Tell me: What's your exhaustion level today on a scale of 1-10? Let's normalise being honest about how we're really doing.

Happy Valentine's Day! 💕

Today, everyone is talking about loving others.

But I want to talk about loving yourself.

Because here's the truth: You can't give what you don't have.

You can't love others well when you're running on empty.
You can't show up fully when you're exhausted.
You can't be present when you're depleted.

The greatest love story of your life starts with YOU.

In 3 days (Tuesday, February 17), we are committing to one day of self-kindness.

The 24 Hours of Self-Kindness Challenge.

12 hours. 12 acts of kindness. FREE.

Will you join me?

Today, love yourself first. 💕

If you've been following along, you know I've been writing A LOT about self-kindness lately.

Here's everything I've covered:

✅ Why Self-Kindness Is Not Selfish - The distinction that changes everything

✅ Self-Kindness vs. Selfishness - What's the actual difference and why it matters

✅ The Science of Self-Compassion - Research-backed evidence that this works

✅ 10 Signs You're Confusing the Two - Plus exactly how to stop each pattern

✅ The Best Friend Test - What would happen if you treated yourself like your best friend?

All of these posts are on my blog: https://liveanwholisticlife.com/

If you haven't read them yet, I encourage you to. Especially if you're someone who feels guilty every time you rest.

But here's the thing:

Reading about self-kindness is helpful. But it's not enough.

You have to actually PRACTICE it.

That's why I created the 24 Hours of Self-Kindness Challenge.

On Tuesday, February 17th (in 4 days), join other busy women who are committing to one day of self-kindness.

12 hours. 12 simple acts. Each taking 2-5 minutes.

Things like:
• Drinking coffee sitting down
• Speaking kindly to yourself
• Setting one boundary
• Asking for help

Simple acts. But powerful.

Because when you practice self-kindness, you prove to yourself that:
→ You CAN prioritise yourself
→ The world doesn't fall apart when you do
→ You show up BETTER for everyone when you're not running on empty

This challenge is completely FREE.

But registration closes Monday night (February 16).

Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1979953643647?aff=oddtdtcreator

Then mark your calendar for Tuesday, February 17.

One day. 12 hours. 12 acts of kindness.

You vs. the voice that says you don't deserve it.

Who's going to win? 💕

Why I created the 24 Hours of Self-Kindness Challenge.

Five years ago, I was the woman who was kind to everyone except herself.

I showed up for everyone. My clients. My family. My friends.

But myself? I came last.

I pushed through exhaustion. I skipped meals. I felt guilty every time I rested.

And I was miserable.

Then I started something simple: One act of self-kindness per day.

Just one.

Some days it was drinking my tea sitting down.
Other days it was saying no without apologising.
Other days it was asking for help.

Small acts. But consistent.

And everything changed.

I stopped feeling guilty when I rested.
I started treating my needs as valid.
I showed up better for everyone because I finally showed up for myself.

That's why I created this challenge.

Because if it worked for me, it can work for you too.

February 17. 12 hours. 12 acts of self-kindness.

IT”S FREE.

Registration is open.

I want you to try something.

Think of the last mistake you made. Maybe something small. Maybe something big.

Now answer these two questions:

QUESTION 1: If your best friend made that same mistake, what would you say to her?

Write it down.

QUESTION 2: What did you actually say to YOURSELF when you made that mistake?

Write that down too.

Now compare them.

I'm willing to bet you were compassionate, understanding, and encouraging to your imaginary friend.

And brutal, harsh, and critical to yourself.

Am I right?

This is the double standard almost every woman lives with.

We treat others with kindness and ourselves with cruelty.

And we wonder why we're exhausted.

Here's what I want you to do this week: Every time you catch yourself being self-critical, pause and ask: "Would I say this to my best friend?"

If the answer is no, then reframe it. Say to yourself what you'd say to her instead.

It's going to feel awkward at first. Do it anyway.

Because the more you practice, the more natural it becomes.

I wrote an entire blog post about this exercise, including:
✅ Why we have this double standard
✅ What happens when you change it
✅ Specific examples of reframing
✅ How to make it stick

Read it here: https://liveanwholisticlife.com/post/treat-yourself-like-best-friend

Then try it for one week and tell me what you notice.

I'm willing to bet you'll feel lighter, less anxious, and more available to the people you love.

Because when you're kind to yourself, you show up better for everyone. 💕

P.S. — The 24 Hours of Self-Kindness Challenge starts in ONE WEEK (February 17). Registration is OPEN. Register here and join me: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1979953643647?aff=oddtdtcreator

Tired of morning routine advice that requires you to wake up at 5 a.m., journal for 30 minutes, and meditate before the sun rises?

In this week's episode of Balanced Brews, we're talking about The Morning Reset (that actually works) — designed for busy women living in the real world, not a wellness Instagram fantasy.

We're ditching the elaborate rituals that leave you more exhausted than energised. Instead, I'm sharing a morning reset that fits YOUR actual life — kids, chaos, coffee, and all.

If you've tried all the "perfect morning routine" hacks and you're still running on fumes, this episode is for you.
Watch now on Rumble! https://rumble.com/v75gj5w-the-morning-reset-that-actually-works.html

What's ONE thing that would make your mornings easier? Drop it in the comments — I want to hear what you're working with!

Can we talk about self-care for a second?

Because I'm tired of seeing the same advice everywhere

🛁 "Take a bubble bath!"
🕯️ "Light some candles!"
🎭 "Do a face mask!"
🧖🏻♀️ "Book a spa day!"

And while those things are lovely, they're not self-care.

They're treats. They're nice-to-haves. They're what you do when you have extra time and money.

But they're not what keeps you from burning out.

Real self-care looks like this

✅ Saying no to volunteering when you're already overwhelmed
✅ Asking your partner to handle dinner tonight because you're exhausted
✅ Going to bed at 9pm instead of staying up to clean the kitchen
✅ Not responding to that work email at 10pm
✅ Eating your lunch sitting down, away from your computer
✅ Taking 5 minutes alone in your car before you walk into the house
✅ Setting a boundary with your mother-in-law without feeling guilty

See the difference?

Social media self-care requires money and time you don't have.

Real self-care requires permission you won't give yourself.

Real self-care isn't pretty. It's protective.

It's not about adding more to your plate. It's about protecting yourself while you're juggling everything already on it.

It's not about being indulgent. It's about being sustainable.

And that's what we're practising in the 24 Hours of Self-Kindness Challenge.

February 17. 12 hours. 12 acts of real self-care.

Things like
🌼 Setting one boundary without apologising
🌼 Asking for help with one task
🌼 Taking 5 minutes alone
🌼 Going to bed when you're tired (not when everything's done)

This is the self-care that actually changes things.

🔥 Not bubble baths. Boundaries.
🔥 Not face masks. Rest.
🔥 Not spa days. Permission to matter.

Many women have already registered.

They're done with the social media version. They're ready for the real thing.

Are you?

February 17. Real self-care. Not the Instagram version. 💕

What's your take on this? What does real self-care look like for you? Let's talk about it in the comments.

The Coffee Test.

Here's what I want you to do - think about this morning. How did you drink your coffee (or tea)?

Were you:
🔥Standing at the kitchen bench
🔥 Rushing around getting everyone ready
🔥 Checking your phone
🔥 In the car
🔥 At your desk already working
🔥 Gulping it down because you were running late

Or were you:
✅ Sitting down
✅ Actually tasting it
✅ Fully present for those few minutes

If you're like most women, it's the first list.

Because we've normalised rushing through everything. Even the small moments that are meant to be for us.

We don't drink coffee anymore. We fuel up. Quickly. Efficiently. While doing three other things.

And here's what that tells us: We don't believe we deserve those 3 minutes.

We don't believe we're allowed to just sit and be. Without producing. Without multitasking. Without being useful to someone.

So we rush. Through coffee. Through meals. Through showers. Through our entire lives.

And we're exhausted.

Here's your challenge for this week

🌼 Tomorrow morning, drink your coffee sitting down.
🌼 Set a timer for 3 minutes if you need to.
🌼 Sit.
🌼 Drink.
🌼 Taste it.
🌼 Notice how your body feels.
❌ No phone. No laptop. No planning. Just coffee.

It's going to feel weird. You'll probably feel guilty. Your brain will tell you this is a waste of time.

Do it anyway. Because if you can't give yourself 3 minutes to drink coffee, what can you give yourself?

This is the kind of practice we're doing in the 24 Hours of Self-Kindness Challenge on February 17.

12 hours. 12 simple acts. Each one reminding you that you're allowed to slow down. You're allowed to be present. You're allowed to matter.

Other women have already registered.

They're not less busy than you. They just decided they're worth 3 minutes of their own time.

Are you?

And tomorrow—drink your coffee sitting down. 💕

Comment below: How do you usually drink your coffee? Let's normalise talking about this!

07/02/2026

Read through this list and count how many apply to you:

1. ❌ You feel guilty every time you rest
2. ❌ You apologise for having boundaries
3. ❌ You wait until you're desperate before asking for help
4. ❌ You judge yourself for having needs
5. ❌ You can't receive compliments without deflecting
6. ❌ You prioritise everyone's comfort over your wellbeing
7. ❌ You feel like you have to earn rest
8. ❌ You say yes because you're afraid of judgment
9. ❌ You feel resentful but can't pinpoint why
10. ❌ You believe sacrifice = goodness

If you recognised yourself in ANY of these, you're confusing self-kindness with selfishness.

And that confusion is costing you:
• Your energy
• Your joy
• Your presence with loved ones
• Your mental health

But here's the good news: You can change this.

I wrote a detailed blog post breaking down:
✅ Why each sign happens
✅ How each pattern hurts you
✅ Exactly what to do to stop it

Read it here: https://liveanwholisticlife.com/post/signs-confusing-self-kindness-selfishness

Then pick ONE sign—the one that hit you hardest—and work on just that one this week.

You don't have to fix everything at once. Just start somewhere.

Which sign resonated most with you? Comment below. Let's talk about it. 💕

P.S. — The 24 Hours of Self-Kindness Challenge is coming February 17. This is going to help you break these patterns. Registration open now, link in the comments.

Can I ask you something?

What are you waiting for?

I see so many women who KNOW they need to take care of themselves. They know they're running on empty. They know they can't keep going like this.

But they're waiting.

Waiting for things to slow down. (They won't.)
Waiting for someone to tell them it's okay. (They won't.)
Waiting for permission. (It's not coming.)

So they keep pushing through. Keep saying yes when they mean no. Keep putting themselves last.

And they're exhausted.

Here's what I want you to understand:

No one is going to give you permission to prioritise yourself.

Your partner loves you, but they're not going to say "Stop doing so much for us."

🔥 Your kids need you, but they're not going to say "Mum, you should rest."

🔥 Your work values you, but they're not going to say "Take it easy."

Not because they don't care. But because they don't realise you're waiting for permission.

So what if you just gave yourself permission instead?

What if you decided: I'm allowed to matter too.

That's what the 24 Hours of Self-Kindness Challenge is about.

It's a permission slip. For ONE day—just one—you get to prioritise yourself.

12 hours. 12 acts of kindness toward yourself. Each taking 2-5 minutes.

Things like:
🌼 Drinking your coffee sitting down
🌼 Saying no without apologising
🌼 Asking for help
🌼 Actually tasting your lunch

Simple acts. But powerful.

Because when you practice self-kindness, you prove to yourself that you're allowed.

Will you give yourself permission to be kind to yourself?

Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1979953643647?aff=oddtdtcreator

February 17. One day.

You don't need anyone's permission but your own. 💕

05/02/2026

Can I be honest with you for a second?

The 24 Hours of Self-Kindness challenge isn't for everyone.

It's not for the woman who has her life together and priorities herself daily.

It's for the woman who's exhausted.

The woman who's kind to everyone except herself.

The woman who puts everyone first and comes last. Always.

The woman who feels guilty every single time she does something for herself.

The woman who's forgotten what it feels like to NOT run on empty.

If that's you, this challenge is for you.

February 17. 12 hours. 12 acts of self-kindness.

Each taking 2-5 minutes.

IT’S FREE.
