This week I talk about selfishness and why I feel it is often misunderstood – especially for women, who are frequently conditioned to avoid it at all costs. I share my personal journey with selfishness, then reframe it not as a black-and-white concept but as part of a broader spectrum of caring, with selfishness and martyrdom at opposite ends and healthy caring as the balanced middle.

Today's episode challenges traditional ideas about selflessness, offering you a more empowering perspective on how to be empathetic and kind to others whilst also respecting your own needs.

In this episode you will learn:

• Why I believe selfishness is part of a spectrum, not a binary concept
• What martyrdom is and the role it plays in selfishness
• The consequences of living in martyrdom (overcaring)
• How to adopt balanced, healthy caring, towards others and yourself
• Why it's so important to prioritise your own needs
