Why Your 'Me Time' Matters More Than You Think

Feeling guilty for saying no or taking time for yourself? In this episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, autistic advocate Jimmy Clare and health coach Tina Hicks talk about setting healthy boundaries and protecting your “me time” in a way that actually works for autistic and neurodivergent adults. Tina shares simple, compassionate strategies for saying no with more confidence, noticing when you’re people-pleasing, and carving out small pockets of rest in a busy life. Together, Jimmy and Tina explore how boundaries are not selfish—they are survival tools that help you protect your energy, reduce burnout, and build a life that feels calmer and more balanced. (edit) If you often put everyone else first and end up drained, this episode offers realistic, non-judgy ideas to help you start prioritizing yourself, one small boundary at a time.
