The Unsung Hero of Your Own Narrative
from Help! We Started A Podcast! · host Ryan and CC
In this episode, you’ll be forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: the most important person in your life will turn out to be… you. (Yes, you. The one currently wearing socks with slippers.) You’ll drag your partner, your kids, your parents, your best friend, and your crush off the emotional pedestal, and you’ll find out why pinning your entire well-being on them will end about as well as building a dream house on Jell-O.You’ll learn how strategic self-interest will make you a better human for everyone else, why “boundaries” will stop sounding like a bad word, and how to put yourself first without becoming the human version of a traffic jam. Along the way, you’ll get called out for your questionable fashion choices, be reminded to drink water, and finally be given permission to eat the good chocolate before anyone else gets to it.By the end, you’ll stop seeing self-prioritization as selfishness and start treating it like what it is: basic maintenance for the one engine your life runs on. Because if you burn out, the rest of the show stops — and spoiler alert: no one’s auditioning to play you better than you can.
