The Line Between Selfish and Selfless | Dr. Zoe Shaw

Do you ever struggle with feeling like your self-care is really an excuse to be selfish? Do you have mom, wife or friend guilt when you aren’t being completely selfless? Women agonize so much over how their decisions are affecting other people in their lives in a way that men generally do not. Part of it comes from the fact that part of our feminine being is to be nurturers but the reality is that not caring enough about ourselves is unhealthy.

No-one wants to identify themselves as selfish and we have to take care of ourselves first to be able to be selfless. So, how do we balance it? In this episode, I explore the line between selfish and selfless with some easy tips to distinguish between the two.
