Why Self-Care is NOT Selfish

Welcome to Motivational Moments with Maria—where this month we celebrate the unstoppable strength and radiant power within every woman. All this month, as we honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I want to remind you that self-care is not selfish—it’s an essential act of self-love and survival. Together, we’ll explore how embracing your worth and setting boundaries can transform your life, helping you rise not just as a survivor, but as a warrior thriving in her true, authentic power. Let’s dive in and own our power with grace and courage.

This is your safe space to find strength, hope, and inspiration. It’s October and for me it’s all about wearing the pink to increase the awareness and the power of being a woman. As a two-time breast cancer survivor, I know the road to reclaiming your power can feel overwhelming, but I promise you, you are not alone. This month, as we honor every woman’s unique journey, I want to share a simple truth that changed my life:

You are allowed to rest.

You are allowed to heal.

You are allowed to be your whole, beautiful self.

Self-care is not selfish—it’s your birthright.

Together, let’s step into our worth, set loving boundaries, and embrace the full power of our authentic selves. This is your moment to rise and shine.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into what it truly means to own your womanhood. It’s about rejecting the outdated societal scripts that tell us to put others first at the expense of our own well-being. Yes I’m talking to you.  It’s about cultivating a fierce, unshakeable self-worth that empowers you to speak your truth and live authentically.
