Why do we demonize selfishness? In this episode I discuss why choosing to be selfish isn’t only a good thing but a necessary part of robust mental health. This episode applies to everyone but this topic is especially important for all of the parents out there! Parenting from a place of burnout, stress, and anxiety can actually backfire.
