NWIR Illinois Council - Put Your Oxygen Mask On First
September 17, 2026 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm CST
Are you tired of being everyone’s emotional buffer? We are too!
As women, we are told to prioritize ourselves, yet we often don't know what that actually means. For many, "self-care" is just another item on an exhausting to-do list. We have been conditioned to believe that our value is tied to our utility: to how much we do, notice and fix for others.
We will help you:
- Name what is draining you
- Understand why prioritizing yourself feels hard
- Practice choosing yourself without guilt
We will explore the pressures that make self-priority feel like a radical act, discuss how perfectionism leads to powerlessness and provide a roadmap for re-humanizing our roles at home and at work.
