Ep 357 Are You Being Selfish?

Most of us were taught that being selfish is wrong, that putting ourselves first means we’re taking something away from others. But what if that definition is completely backwards? In this episode, I talk about what “selfish” really means, and why caring for yourself isn’t taking from anyone, it’s how you stop running on empty. You’ll learn how to recognize when guilt or people pleasing is driving your choices, how to redefine selfishness as self-care, and why meeting your own needs first actually helps everyone around you. I also share personal stories about how this lesson has shaped my own life and work. If you’ve ever felt guilty for saying no, resting, or putting yourself first, this episode will help you see that honoring your needs isn’t selfish — it’s essential.
