In this episode of the Active Life Podcast, hosts Larry and Cody explore the transformative concept of "healthy selfishness"—the idea that prioritizing yourself is essential not only for personal well-being but also for supporting others effectively. They delve into the cultural stigma around selfishness and provide practical insights into how reframing it as "healthy selfishness" can lead to a more fulfilled, balanced life.

Larry and Cody share real-life examples, like the mother ensuring she’s nourished to breastfeed or a professional learning to say no in order to pursue personal goals. They discuss the common struggle of "deserving issues," where individuals feel unworthy of prioritizing themselves, and offer actionable strategies to break this cycle. By focusing on self-care as a means of showing up better for others, they challenge listeners to move away from giving "leftovers" and embrace the idea of thriving as a way to give their best to loved ones.

Whether you're a coach, parent, or simply someone seeking balance, this episode provides a powerful framework to start practicing healthy selfishness and making impactful changes in your life.
