Even the strongest, most confident, and most capable people in your life aren’t invincible. In fact, many women spend hours of their lives convincing people that they’ve got it all together when life is falling apart. Within the same month, Abby Havermann found herself facing her father’s diagnosis with esophageal cancer and her seven-year-old son was diagnosis with a degenerative neuromuscular disorder, Charcot-Marie-Tooth.
Today, Abby joins the podcast to talk about self-care in the midst of her struggle, personal responsibility, and the mindset we need to embrace to live out our dreams, even while walking through life-altering medical challenges as a mom and daughter.
Abby is a coach, speaker, and author who uses her background as a psychotherapist and financial advisor to help high-achieving women achieve greatness. In her new book coming early in winter 2020, Control Freak, she helps you get to the heart of the matter that helps you truly think through your choices.

Pearls of Wisdom
- Why real self-care really has to do with plugging into yourself in any given moment, not just for big decisions but small ones, and really checking in to make sure that you have your finger on the pulse of what you feel about something.
- Why you need to begin to listen to and honor yourself, and make decisions from that standpoint intuitively. You have to think about what story you're telling yourself. The problem that you're having is not based on what someone said or did or the problem itself. It's based on the story that you're telling yourself.
- What true worth is - infinite, intrinsic and immutable. Your job is to align with it, not to try and prop it up with how you look or how you feel.
