What if fueling your giving meant finally pouring back into yourself first?

Dr. Tia Warwick is a scientist, professor, public health leader, author, and unapologetic boundary-setter. But what truly blew me away was her realness.
We talk about what it looks like to be driven, heart-led, and purpose-fueled...without losing yourself in the process.

She opens up about what it means to give so much to others while quietly running on empty, and how that shifted the moment she turned around and reached back into the “vault” to start giving to herself.

This conversation is for the high-achievers, the nurturers, the go-getters who are tired of feeling drained even when life looks good on paper.
If you’ve ever struggled with setting boundaries, feeling guilty for putting yourself first, or wondering when you get to feel full again - Dr. Tia’s story will speak to your soul.

We dive into:

👉 Why being “productive” can become a trap
👉 How to know your own threshold—and honour it
👉 The difference between being selfish vs. self-aware
👉 What happens when you actually start saying no (and survive it!)
👉 And the one belief every woman needs to release in order to rise

Dr. Tia also shares a powerful metaphor you won’t forget - and a gentle, soul-deep reminder that you are already enough. No titles, no to-do list, no proving required.

If you’re ready to feel lighter, freer, and more connected to your own needs, this is our special gift to you.
