8. Put Yourself First So You Can Stop Feeling Overwhelmed and Resentful
In this episode, Diana Guintu explores why self-care is not a luxury but a necessity for women in midlife. She unpacks the conditioning that teaches women to put everyone else first and shares her own realization of what happens when we constantly push our needs aside. With honesty and encouragement, Diana introduces a simple mantra—Start small, show up, build up—to help women reclaim their time, rebuild trust with themselves, and create sustainable habits without guilt. Listeners will walk away feeling empowered to prioritize themselves and embrace midlife as a season of growth and renewal.
Here’s what we’ll dive into today:

- Self-care is foundational to overall well-being.
- Starting small makes self-care feel possible and sustainable.

- Guilt can sabotage progress if left unchecked.
- Time won’t just appear—you have to claim it for yourself.
- Building up your practices should be gradual and intentional.
- Having community support makes growth easier and richer.
