I’ve been that woman who lost herself, that didn’t feel valued in her job or relationships. I was the person who everyone in my immediate family came to for help, support and to fix things. I was the one who gave and gave and got very little appreciation in return, only more expectations from them. In my jobs and careers I gave 150% all the time and was constantly undervalued, and felt unappreciated, unheard, like I was spinning my wheels and constantly being asked to do more. I was always looking for and wanting a meaningful, fulling intimate relationship and instead I found myself with men who only wanted me for my looks, who wanted to be taken care of and who weren’t interested in a commitment. Later on after I got married I ended up at a point in my relationship where I felt ignored, not desired by my husband, the intimacy was gone and trust had been compromised. Basically I was at a point where my life was falling apart.
I was that woman that you may think you are or who you know. That woman who was struggling to build a successful business working long hours and barely making ends meet. I found myself saying things like “If I could just get clear on what I want to do or If I just had a process to follow then I could be successful.” If I could find more time then I could get everything done that I need to … ect…”
I was stressed out. Felt overwhelmed. Unhappy. More often than not found myself feeling completely alone.
I longed for a passion filled intimate relationship with my husband. More close friends in my life. A thriving financially sound business. Basically the life I dreamed of living but thought was unachieveable.
