Self-Care Is Not Selfish: It’s Self-Responsibility
If one more person calls self-care selfish, I might lose it. In this episode, I unpack why that phrase gets under my skin—and how I had to completely rewire my understanding of what self-care actually is.
We’ll cover:🔹 Why true self-care is about self-responsibility
🔹 How neglecting our needs silently sabotages our relationships
🔹 What it looks like to meet your own emotional, physical, and spiritual needs
🔹 Why waiting for others to give you permission doesn’t work
This isn’t about spa days (though those are nice). It’s about learning how to take ownership of your well-being without guilt or apology.
🎯 Keywords: self-care, emotional intelligence, relationship recovery, codependency, boundaries, burnout, self-worth, courage to change the things we can
