In this episode, we dive deep into the art of putting yourself first—without guilt. Ever been called selfish for setting boundaries or saying no? I have. In fact, that label came from my own family. But here’s the twist: sometimes being a ‘selfish jerk’ is the healthiest thing you can do. It’s not about shutting others out, it’s about protecting your energy and making sure you’re the best version of yourself for those who truly matter. I’ll share personal stories about family dynamics, cultural expectations, and the tough lessons I’ve learned about saying no when it counts. And speaking of boundaries, ever notice how villains in the best stories seem to know exactly how to claim their space? They wear it like a badge of honor (and let’s be honest, they always have the best wardrobe). Maybe it’s time we learn a thing or two from them. After all, what’s so bad about being a little wicked when it’s for your own good? From setting boundaries with loved ones to navigating shifting identity roles, this episode explores how balancing giving and holding back can lead to a more fulfilling life. So, why not embrace being a ‘selfish jerk’ and discover how it can actually make you a better person?
