Lily Hain - Internalize

If you are always there for everybody else, it is only a matter of time until others take advantage of it. With her new song “Internalize,” NYC-based singer/songwriter Lily Hain is at the point when she wants to look out for herself first. The lively indie-rock track has a good mix of anger and determination that may help you escape a too-much-altruism trap, too.

Lily says about the song:

“It’s about the frustration of constantly doing the inner work on myself to grow and heal only to still allow others to walk over my boundaries and make me feel small,” Hain shares. “It’s about the pitfalls of being a people pleaser, the journey of self healing, and trying to break the unhealthy cycles that we sometimes find ourselves in. It was really cathartic to make and I think it’ll be a song that I come back to when I need a reminder to stand up for myself.”
