Selfishness: Is It Ever Ok To Be Selfish?

Imagine how your life would change if you could joyfully give to others rather than feeling overwhelmed or stressed about how much you are asked to give.

Imagine if you felt as though what you have the capacity to do for others is truly a gift rather than an obligation.

You see, when you’re burnt out from always giving, nothing feels very fun or joyful. Instead, everything feels like hard work and struggle.

It’s exhausting. And this not only affects your relationships – but it also affects your health, your work, your family, and even your children’s well-being.

If this sounds like you, and you’re constantly taking care of others with no time to care for yourself, you need to watch today’s episode!

My guest today, Kay Kirkman, is a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach (CTNC), and she serves busy women entrepreneurs who need to learn to care for themselves first so that they have more to give to their loved ones, their communities, and the world.
