Why Taking the High Road Is Keeping You Stuck (and what to do instead)

The Selfish Woman podcast is for the high-achieving woman who's done everything right and it still isn't enough.
Hosted by Valerie Jones - author of The Selfish Year, creator of the Queen Code methodology, and guide for women rebuilding after peak achievement - this podcast explores what comes after you've "made it" and realized the life you built doesn't fit anymore.
Using a neuro-mythic lens, we explore the architecture of transformation: how to dismantle the performance structures keeping you impressive but empty, and rebuild your identity from sovereignty instead of survival.
You'll hear conversations with powerhouse women navigating midlife reinvention: the partner questioning her pace, the executive who walked away, the entrepreneur choosing herself over her empire.
This isn't about balance. It's about reclaiming your throne.
Every episode asks: What if being "unapologetically selfish" isn't rebellion - it's remembering who you were before you learned to perform?
Not self-help. Sovereign transformation through the Queen Code.
