Is Self-Improvement Making Us Selfish?

What if the version of “working on yourself” you’ve been sold is actually pulling you further away from other people?In this solo episode, I’m unpacking the strange relationship between self-improvement and selfishness, and the point where becoming your “best self” can turn into endless optimisation, isolation, and feeling like who you are right now is never enough.I get into how self-improvement shifted from something that happened naturally through life and connection… into a billion-pound marketplace selling us better skin, better habits, better nervous systems, better mornings, better relationships and somehow still leaving us exhausted.We’re talking: ✨ Why women are under more pressure than ever to optimise themselves✨ How beauty, wellness and even spirituality became products to consume✨ Whether “working on yourself” can become an easy scapegoat away from real connection✨ And why the massive piece missing in self-improvement is connection If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting to grow and wanting to just be enough already, this one’s for you.Follow the show on your favourite platforms:Instagram - @theweirdyearspodcast Tiktok - @theweirdyears
