E30 Self-love vs Self-Absorption: Why Loving Yourself Isn’t Selfish


Listen Later

In this short and heartfelt solo episode, Dr. Kelli gets real about the difference between self-love and self-absorption. For much of her career, she misunderstood what it really meant to love herself—and she knows she’s not alone.


You’ll hear a powerful story about a family friend whose adult son told her to never admit she loved herself, reflecting how often self-love is misunderstood as selfishness. Dr. Kelli unpacks why this belief is so harmful and shares how learning to embrace true self-love can transform the way we live, heal, and connect with others.


This episode will leave you reflecting on your own relationship with self-love and why it’s a radical, necessary act—not something to hide or feel ashamed of.


✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why self-love is often misinterpreted as self-absorption

• The personal confession Dr. Kelli shares about her own journey

• How embracing self-love creates a foundation for healing anxiety and living fully

• A new perspective on why loving yourself is actually one of the most generous things you can do


If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like self-love is “selfish,” this episode is for you.
