Show Notes

What does it mean to be "selfish"? For many, the word carries a negative connotation—one of neglecting others for personal gain. But what if being "selfish" was seen as a necessary part of self-care, self-development, and living a deeply fulfilling life?

In this episode, Dr. Sherry Walling, clinical psychologist and mental health advocate for entrepreneurs and high performers, explores the complex relationship we have with selfishness. 

She dives into:
How self-care, boundaries, and joy can fuel meaningful service to others.
The sacred responsibility we all have to craft and care for our “selves.”
Why prioritizing your own needs doesn’t diminish others—it creates abundance.

Learn why self-care is not just a personal luxury but a foundational act of love for those around you. If you’re ready to rethink what it means to be “selfish” and craft a life of intentionality and joy, this episode is for you.
