I’m 78 and Regret Wasting 57 Years Trying to Be the Perfect Woman

Описание: I’m 78 years old, and I need to say something I wish someone had told me decades ago. I spent 60 years trying to be the “perfect woman” — saying yes to everyone, putting myself last, and calling it love. I thought self-sacrifice made me good. I was wrong.

This motivational speech is a raw, honest wake-up call for women who feel stuck, exhausted, or quietly unhappy. If you’ve ever delayed your dreams, swallowed your needs, or waited for permission to live your own life, this message is for you. This isn’t about blaming the past — it’s about choosing yourself before it’s too late.

I share the regret, the loss, the fear, and the freedom I found after 72… so you don’t have to learn this lesson at 78. Watch till the end — this one hits deep and stays with you.
