Why I Advocate Investing in Yourself: A Journey of Transformation
At this juncture of life, I am taking time out to invest in myself once again. As women, we often find ourselves juggling multiple roles — caregiver, professional, partner, friend — while striving to meet the expectations of society and those around us. In the midst of this, we sometimes forget to prioritise the most important person in our lives: ourselves. Investing in yourself is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity for growth, fulfilment, and the ability to empower others. My journey of self-investment has transformed my life and business, and I want to share why it’s so crucial for every woman to make this a priority.
My Story: The Turning Point
For years, I found myself caught in the whirlwind of life, constantly giving but rarely refilling my own cup. I found myself doing the equivalent of two full time jobs. I didn’t sleep for a year. As I collapsed and was consequently diagnosed as suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I knew something had to change, but like many women, I didn’t know where to start. The turning point came when I discovered the power of investing in myself, both mentally and physically. This journey wasn’t just about self-care; it was about rewiring my brain, recharging my body, and redefining my purpose.
