What does it take to "go public" with your life's work? The Selfish Gift podcast is a series of deep, personal conversations with authors and creators about how they made the leap from practitioner to public figure. Hosted by Wonderwell book publisher Maggie Langrick, the podcast also serves up the very best advice from publishing professionals, from editors and literary agents to publicists, brand strategists, and mindset coaches. We ask ALL the big questions, like: When and why did you decide to "go public" with your life's work? How did you deal with self-doubt? What steps did you take, and how hard was it, really? Each of us has a unique gift to offer humanity. When we boldly share it with the world, we expand into the grandest version of ourselves and come fully alive. Listen in to discover how to level up your life and make the world a better place through purposeful publishing.

Episode 14
Welcome to season 2! In this solo episode, host Maggie Langrick takes a deep dive into what The Selfish Gift actually means and explores what she calls "benevolent selfishness": The idea that the contribution we are best suited to give to the world is also the thing that can bring us the most joy and material rewards, as well. If you've consistently put yourself in the backseat of your life, if you've been making excuses to avoid investing in your dreams, and if you've been too afraid of criticism to put your work out there, listen in for some liberation. You'll learn:
- Why selflessness isn't all that virtuous—and how it can be damaging to both you and your relationships.
- Why doing what you love can actually be your greatest service to humanity.
- Why women often fall into the trap of abandoning themselves and their dreams due to their fear of "seeming selfish."
- Why selfishness isn't actually antithetical to generosity or altruism.
- The key question to ask yourself in order to figure out what your true purpose is.
