S2E35: You Need to Be Selfish Before You Can Be Selfless


Listen Later

This week, Adam and Ben explore a concept that flips the script on traditional thinking:

"You can't pour from an empty cup."

Whether you're growing a business, leading a family, or just trying to keep up — protecting your energy, boundaries, and time isn’t selfish. It’s essential.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why being “selfish” might actually be the most selfless thing you can do

  • How to identify signs that you're stretched too thin

  • Why saying “yes” too often could be draining your purpose

  • Tactics to set boundaries without guilt

  • How prioritizing your peace helps you serve others better

This is your reminder that self-care is not self-centered. It’s how you show up stronger — for everything and everyone that matters.
