• 0:00
  Misty Celli: Do you have an overflowing calendar, with days that never seem to end and no time left for yourself?
• 0:04
  Misty Celli: Do you feel simultaneously important, like a central pillar holding everything together, but have been experiencing this nagging feeling for the last several months, like your immense efforts are vanishing into thin air, like no one sees what you're actually doing?
• 0:17
  Misty Celli: Maybe you're one of those moms who spends almost an hour getting everything ready for everyone else's day but barely has enough time to grab yourself some coffee.
• 0:24
  Misty Celli: You handle more than a dozen family questions and needs per day, dedicating almost your entire week to everyone else's needs, but find that you're getting maybe an hour and a half of time for yourself.
• 0:34
  Misty Celli: And, more importantly, when was the last time you said to yourself if I don't handle this, it simply won't get done, because they need me, and this is what a good mom does.
• 0:43
  Misty Celli: That's what I'm here for.
• 0:44
  Misty Celli: Perhaps the most chilling thought of all, the one that truly cuts deep and has been haunting you for weeks, is that whisper that says I no longer know who I am.
• 0:53
  Misty Celli: I have no idea what I truly desire and, honestly, I feel kind of lost.
• 0:58
  Misty Celli: I feel like I've lost myself.
• 1:00
  Misty Celli: If any of this resonates with you, then I am betting you're experiencing one of the following the crushing exhaustion of managing absolutely everything for everyone for years being everyone's indispensable go-to person, constantly pulled in a dozen directions daily.
• 1:15
  Misty Celli: That gnawing desire to have just a little time for yourself this week, but then instantly realize you have too much to do.
• 1:22
  Misty Celli: Or that perplexing confusion about feeling unseen even when you're surrounded by those you love.
• 1:27
  Misty Celli: What about that conflicting desire to say no?
• 1:29
  Misty Celli: Then instantly you feel selfish.
• 1:31
  Misty Celli: You don't want to disappoint them.
• 1:33
  Misty Celli: If you have found yourself nodding to one of those, this episode is specifically for you.
• 1:38
  Misty Celli: Today we're going to get real about what you need to do to move from depletion so you can reclaim you and begin to experience energy, get restorative sleep, rediscover true joy and experience deep, authentic connection, not just with those you love, but with your truest self.
• 1:53
  Misty Celli: We're about to uncover mistake number three.
• 1:55
  Misty Celli: This is a pervasive trap, one where you shift from being everything to those you love at a devastating cost.
• 2:02
  Misty Celli: Remember, catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and barely recognize that woman staring back.
• 2:06
  Misty Celli: The woman who once dreamed big, burned with passion and had purpose beyond meeting everyone else's needs.
• 2:10
  Misty Celli: She seems to have disappeared.
• 2:12
  Misty Celli: I'm Misty Chelle, and this is your Utmost Life, the podcast for moms who feel guilty for wanting more and can't remember the last time they truly felt like themselves.
• 2:20
  Misty Celli: If you're tired of feeling invisible in your own life, overwhelmed with the endless demands that you're carrying and don't know who you are beyond a mom and a wife, you've come to the right place.
• 2:29
  Misty Celli: Here we are putting you back into your life, because here's the truth.
• 2:32
  Misty Celli: You're not just everything to everyone.
• 2:34
  Misty Celli: You're a unique, powerful woman with dreams that matter, goals that count and a voice that deserves to be heard.
• 2:40
  Misty Celli: It's time to move from being just fine to utmost living, without guilt, overwhelm or upheaval, becoming an utmost woman who doesn't just exist.
• 2:48
  Misty Celli: She lives life with intention, creates meaningful impact in and out of her family.
• 2:53
  Misty Celli: So stick around, we're just getting started.
• 2:55
  Misty Celli: Hello, welcome back to a new episode of your Utmost Life Podcast.
• 2:59
  Misty Celli: Today we're continuing our series called the six major mom mistakes and how to fix them.
• 3:04
  Misty Celli: These are the most common mistakes I see moms making and, honestly, I too made these mistakes for years.
• 3:10
  Misty Celli: They are natural acts that all loving moms make that become habits that don't just make us feel invisible, undervalued and constantly stressed out.
• 3:18
  Misty Celli: They leave us completely worn down and disconnected, not just from those we love, but from ourselves.
• 3:23
  Misty Celli: We end up going through life operating on autopilot and eventually feeling drained and used up and honestly longing for something more, but have no idea what more actually means.
• 3:34
  Misty Celli: Today we're diving into mistake number three, and this one is huge.
• 3:38
  Misty Celli: It's a clever trap that feels like the right thing to do, even noble, and it's wrapped up in what looks like love.
• 3:45
  Misty Celli: It tricks you into believing that being needed means you're valued.
• 3:48
  Misty Celli: However, it slowly chips away at who you are one innocent, yes, at a time.
• 3:53
  Misty Celli: Making you believe your worth is only about what you do for others, not the amazing person you really are.
• 4:00
  Misty Celli: And eventually this trap causes deep resentment and it destroys all that you are building.
• 4:05
  Misty Celli: It looks like strength on the outside, but it leaves you completely exhausted on the inside.
• 4:11
  Misty Celli: And it promises connection but only delivers loneliness.
• 4:14
  Misty Celli: What I've consistently observed in truly exceptional mothers is this unwavering devotion, a willingness to pour every ounce of themselves into their family.
• 4:24
  Misty Celli: They love their family deeply, are incredibly grateful for them and want nothing more than to ensure their loved ones thrive, feel truly adored and experience genuine joy.
• 4:33
  Misty Celli: Yet this very deep love, this intense devotion, can tragically become a sneaky trap that slowly, quietly, makes the vibrant woman everyone loved disappear.
• 4:43
  Misty Celli: The invisible mama has poured herself into everyone else and now feels erased.
• 4:48
  Misty Celli: She longs to feel seen, valued and purposeful again, but can't seem to be doing enough, pouring herself out enough to get that alive, seen and valued feeling back.
• 4:57
  Misty Celli: She lies awake at night, cries in the shower and just feels empty.
• 5:00
  Misty Celli: Utmost woman who lives aligned with her true identity, with confidence, clarity and joy.
• 5:04
  Misty Celli: She's thriving.
• 5:06
  Misty Celli: Every day is full of joy, love, connection with who she is and those she loves.
• 5:10
  Misty Celli: She feels light, rested, confidently moving through her day with purpose, living her greatest life.
• 5:16
  Misty Celli: What truly shatters my heart is that those invisible mamas and their selfless, almost heroic quest to give everyone else absolutely everything, these extraordinary giving women unintentionally instill a dangerous, unspoken belief in their family that moms require nothing, that mom desires nothing and that mom simply doesn't matter as much as everyone else.
• 5:39
  Misty Celli: What I experienced and what you may be experiencing is now what I call the identity eraser effect.
• 5:43
  Misty Celli: You may be experiencing is now what I call the identity eraser effect.
• 5:46
  Misty Celli: It's when women systematically erase themselves from their own lives through constant self-sacrifice disguised as love.
• 5:50
  Misty Celli: They lovingly manage everyone else's life to ensure that nothing is missed, doing everything they can to ensure that everything runs smoothly for everyone, while neglecting their own.
• 6:00
  Misty Celli: And unknowingly, they start believing their worth comes from productivity and service to others rather than who they inherently are.
• 6:07
  Misty Celli: And the truth is, I totally understand this.
• 6:09
  Misty Celli: I used to be there.
• 6:10
  Misty Celli: I was living with that overwhelming desire to please and that deep seated conviction that saying no meant that I was letting others down.
• 6:18
  Misty Celli: I was feeling completely selfish for even entertaining the thought of moving something for myself onto the top of my to-do list With so much that needed to be done for everyone else in the household.
• 6:29
  Misty Celli: What was I thinking?
• 6:30
  Misty Celli: But what if I told you that saying no wasn't selfish but the most generous act you could offer, because it allows you to bring your best self not your depleted self to those you love?
• 6:41
  Misty Celli: I'll never forget that gut-wrenching moment that I fully grasped that I had vanished utterly, completely invisible within the very fabric of my own life.
• 6:50
  Misty Celli: I was driving home from another long day of doing what I thought I was supposed to be doing meticulously managing a household that outwardly ran with this flawless, like clockwork precision, ensuring that every single person's needs were met without fail.
• 7:04
  Misty Celli: From the outside, I presented a picture of effortless composure, as I had everything perfectly under control, but inside I was utterly, completely drowning in a sea of unspoken burdens.
• 7:18
  Misty Celli: I had been spending countless years relentlessly being the ultimate everything to everyone, the flawless wife who effortlessly handled every single logistical detail.
• 7:28
  Misty Celli: The tirelessly devoted mother who intuitively anticipated their every single need.
• 7:33
  Misty Celli: The unfailing, reliable daughter, the steadfast, dependable friend, until I completely, utterly lost sight of the vibrant woman I truly was.
• 7:41
  Misty Celli: I was so consumed with ensuring that everyone else felt cherished and undeniably cared for that, ironically, I had become a hollow, unrecognizable stranger in my own skin, a ghost living in this half-life.
• 7:54
  Misty Celli: And the cost?
• 7:56
  Misty Celli: The cost was so gradual.
• 7:59
  Misty Celli: Day by day, the world that I had worked so hard to make perfect began to disappear.
• 8:04
  Misty Celli: I was so focused on that gold star.
• 8:07
  Misty Celli: You know the one, the one that says you are a good mom, you are doing everything you're supposed to be doing, missing the treasure to get to the shiny rock.
• 8:17
  Misty Celli: My marriage was crumbling, not from a lack of love, but because I no longer existed.
• 9:03
  Misty Celli: I had become so deeply resentful of shouldering every single burden alone, while masterfully maintaining this facade that everything was perfectly fine.
• 9:12
  Misty Celli: My relationships with my kids felt fractured because I was constantly managing their lives instead of simply connecting with them.
• 9:19
  Misty Celli: As their mother and as a person, I was existing in this life that was beautiful and bright for everyone but me.
• 9:25
  Misty Celli: Their life was unfolding in these vibrant colors, but when I looked at the picture of our life, I was in the background and I was slowly disappearing.
• 9:33
  Misty Celli: That day in the car.
• 9:34
  Misty Celli: Everything just changed.
• 9:36
  Misty Celli: The heartbreaking truth hit me In my constant drive to make everyone else happy, I had actually started removing myself out of everything and was making everyone miserable, especially myself.
• 9:47
  Misty Celli: The very love I tried so hard to show by saying yes to everything turned into bitter resentment, this bone deep exhaustion and horrific feeling that I simply didn't matter.
• 9:57
  Misty Celli: I had not only taught my family a corrosive lesson, but also myself that mom has no needs, no wants, no dreams of her own, and it was quietly dismantling them.
• 10:07
  Misty Celli: Our life together as a family and me as a person.
• 10:11
  Misty Celli: But here's the truth the greatest gift that you can teach your family is that everyone, including mom, deserves joy and fulfillment.
• 10:18
  Misty Celli: It was then I truly knew with absolute certainty that a fundamental change was non-negotiable, not just for my own future, but for the very family I love so fiercely, that I had been slowly, painfully erasing my own existence to serve them.
• 10:33
  Misty Celli: Perhaps you too have had that moment where it just hits you, that sudden clear realization that being invisible was simply too much to bear.
• 10:41
  Misty Celli: And now you're left thinking I've been stuck in this pattern for so long.
• 10:45
  Misty Celli: Changing feels impossible and I have no idea where to even start.
• 10:50
  Misty Celli: But what if it's not about completely tearing down your life?
• 10:54
  Misty Celli: What if it's simply about rediscovering who you truly are, your needs, step by manageable step, so that you're not faded into the background anymore, but back in the frame, vibrant and present in the picture of your own life?
• 11:11
  Misty Celli: And think about this Is it really selfish to care for yourself, or is it actually the most loving thing you could do, showing your family what it looks like to live with energy, joy, fulfillment, instead of running on empty?
• 11:21
  Misty Celli: Because here's the deal Taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's love in action, because when your family sees you living with joy and purpose, they learn that everyone's needs matter.
• 11:32
  Misty Celli: You're not just teaching them with words, you're shaping how they'll treat themselves, their future spouses and even how they'll show up in the world.
• 11:40
  Misty Celli: That kind of modeling is the most powerful lesson of all, and it's a gift that will ripple through your children's lives, your marriage and generations to come.
• 11:50
  Misty Celli: When you tell yourself that saying no is selfish, what you're really exposing is a crack in yourself, for Boundaries aren't barricades meant to push people away.
• 11:59
  Misty Celli: They're guardrails that keep love steady and safe.
• 12:03
  Misty Celli: Without them, what starts as love can twist into resentment, distance from people you love and a storm of inner turmoil.
• 12:10
  Misty Celli: And here's what you have to remember your kids are always watching, no matter their age.
• 12:15
  Misty Celli: It doesn't matter if they're 5, 15, or 25.
• 12:18
  Misty Celli: They're learning what love looks like from you.
• 12:21
  Misty Celli: So if you keep believing that saying no makes you selfish, what do they walk away with?
• 12:26
  Misty Celli: The belief that their value comes from self-erasure.
• 12:29
  Misty Celli: Daughters will carry that invisibility into their own lives.
• 12:32
  Misty Celli: Sons will struggle to love and be loved in healthy ways.
• 12:35
  Misty Celli: This isn't just about you.
• 12:37
  Misty Celli: It's generational.
• 12:38
  Misty Celli: It's not really about saying no.
• 12:40
  Misty Celli: It's about showing your family what healthy love actually looks like, love that comes from choice, not guilt or obligation.
• 12:48
  Misty Celli: I've seen it both ways Women who say yes to everything until their marriages collapse under the weight of living by a broken guidebook.
• 12:54
  Misty Celli: And then there are these women who hold strong to what I call strategic selfishness, these boundaries creating families that actually feel more loved, not less.
• 13:04
  Misty Celli: So how do you get out of this agonizing struggle with the belief that your worth is tied to how much you give.
• 13:09
  Misty Celli: It starts with a powerful shift in perspective, moving from the problem frame of constant self-sacrifice to the solution frame of intentional self-reclamation.
• 13:19
  Misty Celli: And here's some interesting research that I found.
• 13:22
  Misty Celli: In her 13 years of research on vulnerability and compassion, dr Brene Brown discovered something surprising the most compassionate people weren't the ones saying yes to everything.
• 13:32
  Misty Celli: They were the ones with the strongest boundaries.
• 13:35
  Misty Celli: They weren't giving from a place of chronic depletion.
• 13:38
  Misty Celli: They were giving from genuously pouring from the absolute fullness.
• 13:42
  Misty Celli: You're not alone in the struggle, and I want you to hear that this isn't an attack to you.
• 13:48
  Misty Celli: This is something that 71% of moms are reported being most strongly defined by their motherhood.
• 13:56
  Misty Celli: That means that millions of women are carrying the same weight, struggling to remember who they are beyond their roles.
• 14:04
  Misty Celli: So I want you to imagine just for a moment.
• 14:07
  Misty Celli: Just for a moment.
• 14:08
  Misty Celli: Imagine this future where you wake up with genuine eagerness for the day ahead, instead of dreading about what everyone will need from you on top of an already packed day.
• 14:17
  Misty Celli: You feel real joy, not as a luxury, but as something that naturally is yours.
• 14:23
  Misty Celli: Coming from this place of true rest, not forced effort.
• 14:26
  Misty Celli: Your family is empowered and capable and naturally begins to navigate their own challenges because they're no longer unconsciously trained to view you as their personal, ever-present assistant.
• 14:37
  Misty Celli: Your relationships have deepened because you're connected as a whole, vibrant person, not just someone managing everyone else's needs, and your marriage flourishes in true partnership.
• 14:47
  Misty Celli: Once more, free from the heavy burden of resentment you've been carrying, from shouldering every burden, you'll discover a deeper purpose and fulfillment that goes beyond your roles, truly grounding you in who you are.
• 14:58
  Misty Celli: And if that wasn't enough, you're leaving a transformative legacy.
• 15:02
  Misty Celli: Your children internalize the profound truth that women matter intrinsically, not just for what they do for others, but for who they are.
• 15:10
  Misty Celli: And you'll teach your children the best lesson of all that taking care of yourself isn't selfish.
• 15:15
  Misty Celli: It's how you build a life that's full, authentic and joyful.
• 15:19
  Misty Celli: This isn't about becoming a different person.
• 15:21
  Misty Celli: It's about courageously uncovering the magnificent woman who's been waiting patiently.
• 15:26
  Misty Celli: She's been waiting beneath years of shoulds and expectations, and letting her emerge and shine as she should have always been is what she desires.
• 15:35
  Misty Celli: It's what you desire.
• 15:36
  Misty Celli: The question isn't whether this transformation shift is possible.
• 15:39
  Misty Celli: It's how could you begin to reclaim your time, your energy and your authentic self If you truly choose and commit to finding a way.
• 15:47
  Misty Celli: I have lived every step of this journey.
• 15:50
  Misty Celli: But let's look at someone you know, michelle Obama.
• 15:52
  Misty Celli: She maintained her career, pursued her own passions and never lost herself in being a mom of two and just a political wife.
• 16:00
  Misty Celli: She wrote books, championed causes, she cared about and showed up as her full self.
• 16:05
  Misty Celli: Did this make her a worse mother?
• 16:06
  Misty Celli: Absolutely not.
• 16:08
  Misty Celli: Her daughter saw a woman who valued herself, pursued her dreams and created impact beyond their family.
• 16:13
  Misty Celli: She modeled what it meant being a woman with your own identity, not just serving others.
• 16:17
  Misty Celli: So the real question isn't is it possible?
• 16:20
  Misty Celli: It is, but are you finally ready to choose?
• 16:23
  Misty Celli: To choose you, to choose to no longer wait for external permission to truly matter in your own precious life?
• 16:30
  Misty Celli: This isn't about striving to become someone entirely new.
• 16:33
  Misty Celli: This is about powerfully remembering the magnificent woman you were before you slowly disappeared into the overwhelming tide of everyone else's needs.
• 16:41
  Misty Celli: That woman inside of you, with all of those passions, dreams, love, vitality, she's still there waiting and she's been calling you to come back home to her.
• 16:50
  Misty Celli: Coming an utmost woman is the most transformative, lasting, guilt-free way to move from invisible, disconnected, burnt out to a woman who lives her life with intention, creates meaningful impact and shows up as her full, authentic self in every area of her life.
• 17:06
  Misty Celli: And this journey back to your authentic self is not merely for your own liberation.
• 17:11
  Misty Celli: It's the profound catalyst for transforming the entire dynamic of your family.
• 17:14
  Misty Celli: Remember that startling statistic I mentioned earlier, that 71% of moms report being most strongly defined by their motherhood.
• 17:21
  Misty Celli: There's a crucial, often misunderstood, difference between three distinctive approaches to motherhood the path of unrelentlessly self-sacrifice, which paradoxically breeds bitter resentment and ultimately creates invisible mamas.
• 17:34
  Misty Celli: The damaging extreme of narcissistic selfishness, which inevitably harms and diminishes children.
• 17:40
  Misty Celli: But there's a third way, a better way, a powerful transformation.
• 17:45
  Misty Celli: When you courageously move from being invisible mama to utmost woman, you don't just survive.
• 17:50
  Misty Celli: You meticulously cultivate a thriving, flourishing family where every single member, including you, matters deeply and is living their life to the greatest extent possible.
• 17:59
  Misty Celli: Let me unravel this for you, piece by painful piece.
• 18:02
  Misty Celli: Self-sacrifice looks like this you reflexively say yes to every single demand, meticulously manage every last logistical detail, tirelessly anticipate everyone's unspoken needs and in doing so, gradually, heartbreakingly, you simply vanish.
• 18:18
  Misty Celli: Your family unwittingly internalizes a distorted lesson of love that true affection means one person constantly gives everything while everyone else passively takes to thrive your children, witnessing this relentless pattern, grow up with a faulty roadmap, believing that adulthood is synonymous with misery, leading them down one of two equally unhealthy roads Either becoming anxious, perpetually people-pleasing themselves, or developing a deep-seated expectation that others exist solely to serve their needs.
• 18:48
  Misty Celli: Your marriage devolves into a loving partnership, into a cold, transactional business arrangement, with you as the perpetual overworked, underpaid manager.
• 18:59
  Misty Celli: Narcissistic selfishness is the polar opposite, a destructive ideology where you ruthlessly prioritize yourself relentlessly, at the profound expense of everyone else.
• 19:08
  Misty Celli: It's the cold echoing mantra I'm the sole priority, your needs are less important than I, and do you know how much I deserve this?
• 19:17
  Misty Celli: The scientific research of this family dynamic is unequivocally clear.
• 19:21
  Misty Celli: Children raised under this influence suffer profoundly, developing a boatload of severe emotional and psychological challenges.
• 19:28
  Misty Celli: They're unwittingly taught a distorted transactional model of connection that all relationships are mere vehicles for taking, never for genuine reciprocal giving.
• 19:38
  Misty Celli: But here's the deal, what I call strategic selfishness.
• 19:41
  Misty Celli: The real journey of becoming an utmost woman doesn't look anything like what the world thinks selfishness is.
• 19:47
  Misty Celli: It's not about shutting people out or only thinking yourself.
• 19:50
  Misty Celli: It's about this simple, life-changing truth you matter and they matter To live from that truth.
• 19:56
  Misty Celli: Everything shifts.
• 19:57
  Misty Celli: Your kids learn by watching you that healthy adults don't run themselves into the ground to prove love.
• 20:03
  Misty Celli: They Care of themselves so they can show up as whole, joyful and present adults.
• 20:07
  Misty Celli: Your marriage deepens, not because you're giving more, but because you and your spouse are both grounded, self-aware and bringing your whole selves into the relationship.
• 20:15
  Misty Celli: Your children grow stronger and more independent because they're no longer quietly trained to see you as their on-call service provider.
• 20:22
  Misty Celli: When you embody the utmost woman, you're not forced to choose between your energy and your family's well-being.
• 20:28
  Misty Celli: You're actually choosing the most alive, fulfilled version of yourself, the version that creates this healthiest, happiest family dynamic without even trying.
• 20:36
  Misty Celli: That's modeling real love.
• 20:38
  Misty Celli: That's showing them what it means to be a whole adult, and it couldn't be more different from the martyrdom that we've been sold as love.
• 20:45
  Misty Celli: Yet even with this newfound clarity, there's often a stubborn voice that tries to pull you back, that insidious whisper that says saying no means you don't care Simply a cruel, guilt-based manipulation that traps you, stopping you from real freedom.
• 21:00
  Misty Celli: It's like an invisible chain made from feeling obligated and fearing disappointment.
• 21:04
  Misty Celli: It's like an invisible chain made from feeling obligated and fearing disappointment, convincing you that your love is only real if you're constantly exhausting yourself to comply.
• 21:14
  Misty Celli: This deep-seated belief that keeps you overwhelmed, resentful and completely drained, always sacrificing your own needs for what you think you should be doing.
• 21:19
  Misty Celli: But here's the powerful truth that Whisper doesn't want you to know the people who genuinely love you.
• 21:24
  Misty Celli: Don't want you to know the people who genuinely love you don't want you to disappear.
• 21:26
  Misty Celli: They want you, the whole, vibrant woman.
• 21:29
  Misty Celli: You are not just what you can do for them.
• 21:32
  Misty Celli: Think about it.
• 21:33
  Misty Celli: When you love someone, do you want them to sacrifice themselves for you?
• 21:37
  Misty Celli: Of course not.
• 21:38
  Misty Celli: You want them to be happy, fulfilled and thriving.
• 21:41
  Misty Celli: Yet somehow we've been taught to believe that our love is only real if it means erasing ourselves.
• 21:47
  Misty Celli: That's not love, that's codependency, and by living this way, we're accidentally teaching our families a terrible lie that women don't matter beyond their usefulness.
• 21:58
  Misty Celli: The undeniable truth is this when you courageously say no to what drains you and doesn't truly serve you, you are actually powerfully saying yes to showing up as your best, most authentic self, for what truly matters.
• 22:12
  Misty Celli: And when you protect your energy, you have more real, overflowing love to share.
• 22:17
  Misty Celli: When you model self-respect and healthy boundaries, you are teaching your children that they matter too, creating a legacy of self-worth and a balanced relationships.
• 22:26
  Misty Celli: That nagging guilt that you feel when you even think about saying no.
• 22:30
  Misty Celli: It's not your conscious talking.
• 22:32
  Misty Celli: It's years of old programming that convinced you that your worth comes from your output.
• 22:37
  Misty Celli: But you are not a vending machine for everyone else's needs.
• 22:40
  Misty Celli: You are a magnificent woman with dreams, desires and a purpose that goes far beyond being everyone's everything.
• 22:47
  Misty Celli: The most radical thing you can do is start truly believing deep down that you matter.
• 22:52
  Misty Celli: How do we finally break free from those chains and step into new reality?
• 22:56
  Misty Celli: It's not about adding more to your already overflowing plate.
• 23:00
  Misty Celli: It's about strategically removing the weight that's been dragging you down and reclaiming the boundless energy that is inherently yours.
• 23:07
  Misty Celli: It's a bit like finally exhaling after holding your breath for years.
• 23:11
  Misty Celli: The relief isn't complicated.
• 23:13
  Misty Celli: It's natural.
• 23:14
  Misty Celli: You're not learning something new.
• 23:16
  Misty Celli: You're remembering something you forgot that you matter too.
• 23:19
  Misty Celli: So let's get really practical here.
• 23:21
  Misty Celli: What does this transformation actually look like in your daily life?
• 23:25
  Misty Celli: How does this shift feel?
• 23:27
  Misty Celli: First off, you know that little voice, the one that whispers oh, if I don't do it, no one will.
• 23:32
  Misty Celli: You're going to call that out for what it really is A total lie, a sneaky trap designed to keep you stuck.
• 23:39
  Misty Celli: Because here's the honest truth your family.
• 23:41
  Misty Celli: They're way more capable than you've been giving them credit for.
• 23:44
  Misty Celli: Instead of staying up at night, you know, till midnight researching college applications, scholarships for your 17 year old, because they're so busy with school, you'll learn to say I found three scholarship websites.
• 23:56
  Misty Celli: You handle the applications.
• 23:58
  Misty Celli: They might complain at first, but they learn to advocate for themselves and you reclaim your precious evenings.
• 24:04
  Misty Celli: Next, we tackle the power of no.
• 24:06
  Misty Celli: This isn't about being mean or not caring.
• 24:09
  Misty Celli: It's about strategically learning to say no to the fine things so that you can wholeheartedly say yes to the right things for you.
• 24:16
  Misty Celli: You'll finally grasp that your time and energy aren't infinite.
• 24:20
  Misty Celli: They're precious, finite resources that deserve to be fiercely protected and invested wisely.
• 24:25
  Misty Celli: Request to volunteer for another school committee or host another meeting when you're already exhausted.
• 24:30
  Misty Celli: You'll learn to say that sounds wonderful, but I'm unable at this time.
• 24:34
  Misty Celli: If something changes, I will let you know.
• 24:36
  Misty Celli: Not, I'm too busy, but a simple, firm boundary that honors your capacity.
• 24:41
  Misty Celli: And then, the most beautiful part of all, you'll start to recognize that incredible woman you were before the world convinced you to be everything to everyone.
• 24:49
  Misty Celli: She's still in there, I promise you.
• 24:51
  Misty Celli: She's just waiting patiently, underneath all of those heavy layers of obligation and soul crushing guilt.
• 24:57
  Misty Celli: And guess what she has?
• 24:58
  Misty Celli: Dreams, vibrant opinions and a desire that absolutely unequivocally matters.
• 25:02
  Misty Celli: Finally, say yes to that girls trip your friends have been planning for two years.
• 25:06
  Misty Celli: Or you start taking that evening art class that you've been putting off because someone needs to be home for dinner, even though your kids are perfectly capable of making their own food.
• 25:15
  Misty Celli: You might feel guilty at first, but then something magically happens you remember what it feels like to laugh until your stomach hurts to learn something new, just because it interests you to have conversations about something other than everyone else's schedules.
• 25:29
  Misty Celli: You'll feel a forgotten spark ignite, a quiet joy bubbling up from simply being you.
• 25:34
  Misty Celli: But let's be honest for a moment.
• 25:36
  Misty Celli: What happens if you don't address these patterns?
• 25:38
  Misty Celli: If you keep listening to that whisper and living by those old rules?
• 25:42
  Misty Celli: Here's the harsh truth of what inaction costs you.
• 25:45
  Misty Celli: Current exhaustion will only get worse, becoming a constant draining present that dims your light to almost nothing.
• 25:51
  Misty Celli: Your relationships won't get better.
• 25:53
  Misty Celli: Instead, they'll keep suffering from your quiet resentment, creating a growing emotional distance.
• 25:58
  Misty Celli: Your children, even though loved, will keep learning that mom's needs don't matter, setting them up for a dangerous cycle of self-neglect in their own lives.
• 26:06
  Misty Celli: And that feeling of disappearing it won't just hang around, it will become your actual reality, leaving you feeling completely lost and disconnected from who you used to be.
• 26:14
  Misty Celli: Here's what I instinctively know about you You're not going to just listen to this and hope things magically change overnight.
• 26:20
  Misty Celli: You're done waiting.
• 26:22
  Misty Celli: You're ready to take action.
• 26:24
  Misty Celli: That, my friend, is precisely why I poured everything into creating a brand new three-day Reclaiming who you Are Beyond Mom and Wife event.

• 26:57
  Misty Celli: You've been living with an overflowing calendar, days that never truly end and no time left for you.
• 27:03
  Misty Celli: You feel simultaneously indispensable to everyone, yet utterly invisible, like your immense efforts are vanished into thin air.
• 27:10
  Misty Celli: That relentless whisper of if I don't handle this, it simply won't get done, because they need me, and this is what good moms do, that's what I'm here for.
• 27:18
  Misty Celli: It echoes in your mind, leading to the heartbreaking realization I no longer recognize myself.
• 27:24
  Misty Celli: I'm slowly fading away.
• 27:25
  Misty Celli: This isn't just about becoming busy.
• 27:27
  Misty Celli: It's about the identity eraser effect a deeply ingrained belief that saying no means that you don't care.
• 27:34
  Misty Celli: A cruel, guilt-based manipulation that keeps you trapped, sacrificing your own vitality.
• 27:39
  Misty Celli: We've seen how unrelenting self-sacrifice leads to resentment and invisible mamas, while narcissistic selfishness damages children.
• 27:46
  Misty Celli: The crushing cost of not changing is that nigh exhaustion will only deepen.
• 27:51
  Misty Celli: Your relationships will suffer from unspoken resentment and your children will learn a dangerous cycle of self-neglect, and that feeling of disappearing will become your stark reality.
• 28:00
  Misty Celli: Are you ready to stop waiting for permission to matter in your own magnificent light, if you've already said I'm fine three or four times before 10 am when you're absolutely not, or if you've canceled more than half the things you wanted to do for yourself in the last six months because of family needs that honestly could have waited?
• 28:17
  Misty Celli: That's exactly why I created the three-day reclaiming who you are beyond mom and wife event.
• 28:23
  Misty Celli: This is for you.
• 28:24

• 28:35
  Misty Celli: And here's the thing this isn't about flipping your life upside down or suddenly becoming selfish.
• 28:40
  Misty Celli: Self-worth doesn't expire it gets buried under years of doing and serving.
• 28:45
  Misty Celli: If sacrificing yourself completely made families thrive, wouldn't every self-sacrificing mama have the perfect home life?
• 28:52

• 28:54
  Misty Celli: So imagine this instead waking up excited instead of already behind at 5 30 am for the 847th day in a row, having meaningful conversations with your spouse more than once a month, and remembering what it feels like to actually have space for your own voice, your own needs and your own dreams.
