Ep #89 - Tired of being called selfish just because you know yourself well enough to not have kids? 

Anyone who dares to flout social conventions is typically labeled rebellious. But opt out of the sacrificial act of parenthood? HOW DARE YOU, YOU SELFISH BITCH?!

Let's examine what “selfish” really means, why it’s so often weaponized against childfree women, and how our definitions of self-centered, self-aware, and boundaries get all tangled up in toxic cultural norms. 

It's a spectrum, and we're all capable of selfish acts. Parents, too! 

So why do parents get a pass on selfish behavior? Give this episode a listen and then text in your thoughts! Add your name to the text body too, and your response might be read on a future episode.

Start shedding your toxic traits as we explore how in-groups and out-groups shape our beliefs, and how critical thinking and healthy boundary-setting can help us all live our best lives. Parents, too!
