  • Summary

  • Welcome to the "I Come First" Podcast, where putting yourself first is not selfish - it’s self-care, and it is essential. Yes, you heard me right, we are flippin’ the script! Are you tired of being the superhero for everyone else while your own needs take a backseat? Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and burnt out, wondering where in the world your own spark went? If you're nodding along to that, then buckle up sister, because you found your tribe! Hi I'm Amie Barsky, nervous system and trauma master coach and breathwork facilitator, here to guide you on a journey of self-care and empowerment. From a young age, I bought into the belief that being the 'good girl,' meant putting myself last. I also followed the rules - convinced that the only way to success was constant hustling, pushing, proving, and people-pleasing. I tried to live up to those unrealistic standards & it left me in overdrive, battling overwhelm, anxiety, spouts of depression and disconnection from my true self. I have supported hundreds of women worldwide as they break free from similar cycles, and now it’s your turn! This is the podcast for ambitious women who are tired of feeling overworked, underappreciated and are done putting themselves last! This is a sanctuary where I'll share my entire journey as a roadmap to help you break free from the pressure of societal norms, understand your nervous system and reconnect to your fierce inner strength. Join us on this wild ride as we rewrite the rules, and share the secrets to putting yourself first. Each week, we’ll be sharing practical tools, advice, inspiring stories and unstoppable energy. Let’s make “I Come First” your daily mantra and reclaim your zest for life!

    Memorable Quotes"We were designed to move with stress. You're never going to get rid of your stress system. It's what's keeping you alive. Thank goodness. So we want to integrate it, have it be as supportively adaptive as possible, and we want to use it.""You cannot fix your nervous system, and regulation tools that are about fixing what you perceive as dysregulation are coping strategies. If you're meditating to get out of discomfort, all you're doing is adding another coping strategy.""The biggest flex is having a nervous system where choice happens at the level of nervous system. If I'm making conscious choice, it's already because something has organized my body, my thoughts, my emotions in a certain way."Connect with Elisha
