Balance & Beyond

Shattering the ‘Selfish’ Myth


Listen Later

Ever felt the sting of being labelled 'selfish' as an ambitious woman? We're about to unravel the threads of this loaded term, exploring how societal norms and childhood conditioning have weaponised it against women, particularly mothers. We're challenging the age-old belief that being a powerhouse and a caring mother are paradoxical roles. We'll delve into the rise of the 'power woman' in the 80s, and how the term 'selfish' has kept many women tethered to guilt and self-doubt. But we're not stopping at simply challenging these norms — we're helping you break free from this judgment and understand 'selfishness' from a fresh, empowering perspective.

And that's not all. We're also shifting our lens to focus on the increasing instances of burnout among women. Burnout is not a badge of honour — we want you to know its signs, symptoms, and, most importantly, how to prevent it. We'll provide useful tools to manage burnout and insights on crafting a balanced lifestyle that leads to fulfilment and success — as defined by you. 

This episode is an essential resource for ambitious women seeking to understand societal conditioning, burnout, and the freedom to define success on their own terms. We promise engaging discussions and insights that will inspire and empower you, so tune in!
