Do You Know Your Worth?

Do You Know Your Worth?

Knowing your worth is easier said than done. Many of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about our value to our loved ones, to our employers and the world overall. However, that value cannot be understated. The reality is we have so much to give to the world and one of the most important things we can do for ourselves is to recognize our worth and stand up for it. That is why I brought on the Stress Less Show this week Stephanie Heath, a job search consultant and career coach, to talk all about the importance of knowing our worth so that we can reclaim selfishness and put ourselves first.

How to Escape the Expectations of Others and Focus On You

How to Escape the Expectations of Others and Focus On You

How many of us out there have ever felt trapped by other people's expectations of us? Whether it's our family members, our partners, our friends or even our coworkers, we can face a lot of pressure from others when it comes to the decisions we make for ourselves. As much as we would love to be able to please everyone, the reality is that what we want and what we expect of ourselves is far more important than the expectations that anyone else has for us. We can't please everyone and when we try to, we only end up letting ourselves down. This week, I'm so happy to have confidence coach, speaker, and our Self(ish) Philly MC, Danielle Mercurio, on the show to share her story and her tips for finally putting yourself first ahead of everyone else's expectations of you…

Am I Afraid of Putting Myself First?

Am I Afraid of Putting Myself First?

Are you afraid of what would happen if you put yourself first? Last week on The Stress Less Show, I talked a little bit about reclaiming the word selfish and starting to put your needs first. If you saw that episode or read that blog post, I'm willing to bet there was a part of you that thought, “Sure, Carlee, that sounds great but I can't do that.” Putting our needs first, frankly for a lot of us, is scary because we are so used to putting ourselves last on our list. Well, enough is enough! We are facing that fear head-on because we deserve to take care of ourselves first. That is why I am so excited to have on the show this week Danielle Massi. Not only is Danielle the founder of The Wellness Collective and a holistic mental health therapist, but she is also my wonderful partner in crime and co-founder for a brand new transformative self-care conference called SELF(ish) Philly!

Am I Being Selfish?

Am I Being Selfish?

How many times have you been called selfish? One thing I’ve found is that women often get called three things: fat, crazy, and selfish. Now, fortunately, there are so many amazing companies and individuals - nutritionists, health coaches, fitness trainers, therapists, you name it - that are doing incredible work reclaiming the word crazy and standing up for body positivity. But what about selfishness?

The truth is when most people call someone selfish, what they really mean is the word narcissist. Here’s the thing though, being selfish and being a narcissist is NOT the same thing. Being selfish is all about putting your needs first and making sure that your cup is overflowing so that you can give more to the world.

So this month on The Stress Less Show, we are reclaiming the word selfish because we deserve to put ourselves first!
