I am a worrier by nature (I think I inherited it from my mom) and I am always worrying about my husbands health. What I really should be concentrating on and believe I am more now than ever (thanks to this show)is MY health. Looking into the future and seeing what I saw in this journey if I don't start putting myself first wasn't pretty. I don't want to be a burden on myself or my husband with limited mobility, high prescription drug bills, surgeries, dr visits, etc!!! I want to live a vibrant and healthy life being able to go anywhere and do anything and not have what I have done to my body by not taking care of it limit me. WOW Renee! This is awesome.

I was so impress and enjoyed the episode I listened to, I subscribed. I am a coach and also assist people with their fitness and weight challenges. Since everyone needs a coach on at least some point in there life, I have been listening and wanted to let you know your message has influence many others than just your listeners. I borrowed and referenced certain points to help my clients. Not to mention, why I don't struggle with weight, I am a "busyness" junkie that is always trying to get more done. Your show Selfish Enlightenment had me come to realize how I was really cheating my clients, staff, friends, and mostly definitely my family. After the show, I took a vacation and realized how burned out I was. Thanks Renee for your message and the work towards the legacy you are leaving!

I was never really good about setting my boundaries before. I was a people pleaser, and believed that being a good daughter, wife, mother, sister, or friend meant that I had to put others before myself. The oxygen mask metaphor broke through to me, and I really GOT it, that I can't be my best anything for others if I have not first taken care of me. I am getting stronger and healthier and more confident daily. With each good choice, I feel more joy in my journey. And each time I slip a little, I do not punish myself with disappointment or thoughts of failure. I am able to say, "Thank goodness I can self correct!" and move on with enjoying my day. No more self-defeating thoughts to deal with. Thank you, Renee!

It also improves my relationship with others, because I'm generally in a better mood and have more energy! I've found that my friends and my boyfriend feel that they can now be more open and honest with me, because before I put myself first, I was often moody and emotional (a combination of bad food choices and not making time for myself!), whereas now I am much more positive and in control of my emotions.
