Are you feeling emotionally exhausted? Are you trying to do it all and be it all—all the time? This radical self-care guide will help you find the courage needed to express your deepest needs, nurture self-awareness, and be yourself in a world that expects you to be everything to everyone.If you’re like countless other women today, you probably feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, stressed, frustrated, or depressed. Or all of the above! In addition to managing your own career, running a household, and taking care of others, you may be taking on an abundance of emotional labor—a form of emotional caretaking that includes managing others’ feelings or subverting your own emotional needs for another’s. At the end of the day, all these pressures can leave you feeling depleted—in body, mind, and spirit. So, how can you start taking care of you?Written by therapist and spiritual teacher Nancy Colier, The Emotionally Exhausted Woman offers the validation and emotional support you’ve been craving. You’ll discover insights grounded in compassion and self-respect to help you uncover your deepest psychological, spiritual, and emotional needs without feeling guilt, shame, or judgment. You’ll learn why you are feeling depleted, why you take care of others at the expense of taking care of yourself, and how to develop a deeper form of self-care beyond the temporary respite of a spa retreat, bubble bath, or manicure. Finally, you’ll nurture greater awareness of what you truly need to achieve lasting peace, fulfillment, and happiness.As women, we are culturally conditioned to believe that we can do it all, have it all, and keep smiling and looking perfect through it all. So, how do you live your truth and create an authentic life in a world that expects you to be everything to everyone—no matter the cost to your mental health? This empowering guide will help you gain a newfound awareness of your own needs, and help you find the courage to draw boundaries, speak your truth, and live a life that both nourishes and fulfills you.
Reviews
"The Emotionally Exhausted Woman is an invitation for women to reimagine the inner work of self-care as a path of sacred presence. Full of wisdom and inspiration, we are reminded of the creativity, vitality, intelligence, and compassion that are always here/now, expressing the essence of who we are." —Tara Brach, author of Trusting the Gold and Radical Acceptance
"'Who is taking care of you?' is the first line in The Emotionally Exhausted Woman, and with that Nancy Colier takes us on a journey of self-discovery. Once we look inside and feel our feelings, and most of all speak up for ourselves, we can find our true and honest life. A book to savor!" —Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness
"Don't be fooled by the size of this slim book. In just 147 mighty pages, Nancy Colier uses her insights as a psychotherapist to shake the comfortable box you live in and expose the roots of your depletion. She teaches you how to finally hang up your 'Good Girl' shoes, proudly own your needs, and mine your inner self for the restorative process you need." —Lesley Jane Seymour, founder of www.coveyclub.com and the Reinvent Yourself with Lesley Jane Seymour podcast, and former editor in chief of Marie Claire and More magazines
