We’ve been taught there are only two options: be selfless and good, or selfish and bad. But what about the space in between? In this episode, I dig into the messy, misunderstood terrain between giving too much and not giving a damn. We’ll talk about the ways selflessness can turn into self-abandonment, how setting boundaries can be mistaken for cruelty, and why choosing yourself doesn’t make you the villain. I’m challenging the binaries and reclaiming the middle ground where love and limits can actually coexist.
If you’ve ever been made to feel guilty for resting, saying no, or asking for more, this one's for you.
