In this episode of Stay at the Top, I explore why so many high achievers consistently place their own needs at the end of the line. This pattern rarely comes from lack of care. More often, it is habit, identity and conditioning.
When your default is to carry the load, it can feel uncomfortable to direct care inward. Yet the research and lived experience are clear. Protecting your own wellbeing preserves your capacity to lead, create and contribute.
This is a reminder to check your priorities, reassess what truly matters, and begin taking small but deliberate steps to support the person at the centre of it all: you.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why high performers often override their own needs
- The invisible cost of constantly saying yes
- How people-pleasing and identity reinforce old patterns
- The link between self-neglect and reduced energy, clarity and recovery
- Three simple ways to redirect time and attention back to yourself
- How boundaries improve performance and relationships
- The power of an anchor habit and how to protect it
- Small actions that make self-support more achievable
Key Quotes:
“Putting yourself first is not indulgent. It is strategic.”
“Every yes has a cost. Often the cost is you.”
“Self-care is self-preservation. It keeps you available for the things that matter.”
“When energy is protected, performance improves.”
“Supporting yourself strengthens every role you hold.”
